Job Description
We are looking for three new project workers to provide 1:1 wellbeing support and guidance to people on probation.
Back on Track is part of a partnership of charities working in local communities across Greater Manchester to deliver the GMIRS Wellbeing Service. The service aims to reduce reoffending by working with people who are on probation to improve their physical, emotional, and mental health and wellbeing, foster healthy relationships and move forward in their lives.
As a project worker you will build strong relationships with people who join the programme and provide 1:1 wellbeing support and guidance, as well as support with practical challenges including debt, low level housing needs, finance and benefits. You will demonstrate a commitment to people on the programme, putting their wellbeing at the centre of your work.
You will be working with people who have a range of needs. This will include people who have experienced trauma, who have been homeless or lived in poverty, and people who face difficulties with mental health and problematic drug and alcohol use.
We deeply value diversity and lived experience and what it can bring to a team/role, and we welcome applications from people who may have faced disadvantage.
Back on Track promote a balanced and supportive work life for our colleagues. In our recent colleague survey, inclusion and fair treatment and organisational culture were our highest scoring areas with 99% positive responses in each.
Back on Track is a Greater Manchester charity that enables people to make lasting positive changes in their lives. Our learning centre is a place where people can belong, feel a sense of purpose, and get skills and guidance to make choices about the kind of future they want. This could be managing problematic drug and/or alcohol use, living a crime-free life, improving mental health and wellbeing, or finding and maintaining a stable home.
