Shannon Trust Facilitator / Library Assistant HMP Ashfield
  
Do you want to join an organisation committed to improving literacy and numeracy skills amongst people in prison?
 
Shannon Trust provides peer-led literacy and numeracy programmes in a number of prisons across the country.  We now have the opportunity to work with Serco ESW to provide a service at HMP Ashfield. Working closely with the prison and their staff, people in prison, Shannon Trust volunteers and mentors, this post will lead the delivery and development of our literacy and numeracy programme at HMP Ashfield, maximising opportunities for people in prison to learn whilst also providing daily assistance in the running of the library.

This role will be prison-based. Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme.  The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
?

These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
