Prison Support Worker

Red 5 People Ltd jobs
Want to be looked after as an employee?

How about 30 days holiday (plus bank holidays), family-friendly policies, and even two duvet days a year? One Glassdoor review sums it up perfectly:

“Genuinely changes lives, that’s what I enjoyed. The people I worked with were amazing , passionate, dedicated, and really committed to helping clients.”

This role could be a great move for someone currently working within the prison service who wants to transition into a more support-focused position. There’s lots of training and shadowing to help you learn the ropes.

We have two vacancies: one based at HMP Leeds, and one at HMP Wealstun. Each role also includes 1–2 days per week at Askham Grange, a nearby resettlement prison.

You’ll work with individuals preparing for release, offering 1:1 casework and helping them overcome barriers related to housing, employment, finance, relationships, and more. This is a frontline role with no groupwork — the focus is on tailored, meaningful support.

To apply, you’ll need:
  • Experience supporting prison leavers, vulnerable adults, or working within the criminal justice system
  • Ideally, existing prison vetting (but strong candidates without it will be considered)
Please apply via this advert – we aim to respond to everyone. If you haven’t heard back within 72 hours, please complete the “Send Us a Message” form on the Contact Us page of the Red 5 People website, and we guarantee a real person will get back to you.

For more information, feel free to give us a call and ask for Lawrence (contact details on the Red 5 People website).
