About Unlocked

Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending, with particular focus on breaking the link between disadvantage and reoffending. Currently prison is not a place which successfully does this: the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions and 48 percent of prisoners reoffend within a year of release. Unlocked Graduates exists to fix this problem. Our mission is to break cycles of re-offending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.

The role

We are seeking an experienced educator or facilitator with deep understanding of effective professional development. Our Training Consultant will primarily support experienced professionals in the criminal justice system, and prison officer mentors, to deliver initial prison officer training to our new cohort of participants at our Summer Institute (SI).

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the professional development of our key session facilitators at SI: Mentoring Prison Officers (MPOs) and Summer Trainers. You will frequently observe them as they lead practice-based learning sessions for our participants, and give targeted feedback on their practice. Depending on your availability, there is also the option to lead their facilitation training and induction during our ‘train-the-trainer’ weeks, in Leeds and online.

In this role, you will work closely with our Head of Curriculum to support facilitators to provide excellent training and use their experience of the criminal justice system to increase participants’ understanding of prisons and those held in custody. You will also play a leading role in session quality assurance, and contribute to the evaluation of facilitation.
