Mental Wellbeing Coach (Prison-based)
About us
Big Life is in the business of changing lives. We fight inequality by working with people and places to create opportunities and
inspire change. Whatever service we deliver to help people to change their lives, we do things the Big Life Way.
What you’ll be doing
As a Wellbeing Coach for our new prison-based mental wellbeing service, you will support people in prison to navigate their way
through the complex health and social care environment, removing the barriers that may impede self-management and helping to embed
coping strategies.
This new service will work in collaboration with partner organisations to provide one-to-one support and group support, as well as
targeted wellbeing courses tailored to the specific priorities of people in prison, including housing, mental health, education,
and debt management.
What we need from you
• You will offer help, advice, and emotional support to people in prison.
• You will use person-centred coaching tools and relationship-based practice to support people to achieve goals and address
issues that are important to them.
• You will develop effective working relationships with partners, stakeholders, and local organisations to create social
networks and local activities that can be sustained by the community in the longer-term, once a person in prison has been
released.
• You will deliver a range of peer coaching one-to-one or group interventions.
What we will offer you in return
• An annual salary of £31,364 (NJC SCP 22)
• A permanent, full-time contract
• You’ll work across our four prison sites: Forrest Bank, Styal, Risley and Thorn Cross
• 25 days holiday, and 30 once you've been here five years
• A relaxed culture where you are expected to plan your own day, take breaks when you need them and enjoy your work
• Ongoing personal and professional development through regular supervision
• A supportive, flexible approach to managing staff health and wellbeing, including a wide range of perks, schemes and support.
What next?
If you’re ready to make a difference and improve the lives of people in prison and to help them achieve their full potential, then
click apply and complete the short application process.
Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification.
We are dedicated to creating a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace and would especially like to hear from applicants from
Black, Asian and other racially marginalised communities.
The closing date for applications is Monday 24.6.24. Applications received after this time will not be considered and CVs will not
be accepted. Interviews will take place week beginning 8.7.24
If you need more support or for information in a different format, please contact Sue Smith at sue.smith@thebiglifegroup.com

Big Life strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can all be ourselves. We strongly encourage applicants from all
parts of society. You can read on our careers site about the actions we are taking ourselves to fight inequality and inspire
change.
We actively value the lived experiences and expertise of our staff, volunteers and the people who use our service and see the
extra value that they bring to our organisation.
