What you’ll be doing

Working as part of the Wellbeing Service, you will provide operational management and leadership to a team of wellbeing support link workers in Manchester Magistrates court. This is part of the 3Ps pilot, supporting people to be diverted away from custody, through addressing wider determinants that lead to reoffending. You will support the development of a Wellbeing Hub that will engage with key stakeholders, such as court staff, police, probation, diversion and liaison teams, using community-led initiatives to identify ‘Problematic, Persistent and Prolific’ (3P) offenders. Once identified, the hub will support people to:

• Break the cycle of offending
• Link 3P offenders in with trusted sources of community-based support
• Reduce demand on courts through improved pro-social behaviour
• Support a Diversion Court approach.

You will manage a team of three staff, who will provide support to identified people (you’ll also hold a small case load) organising triage to quickly identify and prioritise the most urgent unmet needs, recognising these as drivers of offending that can overlap and prevent reintegration into society. Including housing, finance, benefit and debt, mental health, addiction and employment.
