We are excited by the opportunity Millsike presents: a blank canvas on which we can paint a bright future for our prisoners. Our mission is clear: to create an environment that empowers, inspires, and supports individuals to re-enter society with hope, purpose, and a life plan.

Prisoners will experience a dramatic shift from traditional prison environments. Millsike will be a vibrant, bustling community, teeming with industry, activity and opportunities for personal growth.

Responsibilities include maintaining a library of support services accessible both locally and nationally, championing staff wellbeing and inclusion, and ensuring a workplace free from derogatory, bullying, or offensive behavior and language. The role also involves coordinating and attending debriefing sessions post-incident, focusing on staff wellbeing and aftercare.
The Health and Wellbeing Lead will manage and coordinate internal programs like Mental Health First Aid and TRiM (Trauma Risk Management), identify and escalate staff wellbeing issues as needed, and monitor and track wellbeing data to inform service development. They will also coordinate internal and external support provisions, identify and organize events to support colleague wellbeing, and foster a restorative culture within the workforce.
Additionally, the role includes setting up and chairing monthly multi-agency Health and Wellbeing meetings, and working with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to monitor sickness absence data and implement targeted interventions to reduce absenteeism.
