Life as a programme facilitator

Helping offenders turn their lives around isn’t without its challenges. But you’ll play a key role in supporting them through interventions that encourage positive change. 

As a programme facilitator, you’ll deliver group and one-to-one sessions, creating a safe and structured environment that meets different learning styles and needs. You’ll manage group dynamics, address challenging behaviour, and ensure sessions remain effective. 

You’ll also: 

  • Monitor progress, risk, and wellbeing throughout the intervention 
  • Keep accurate records and share insights with relevant teams 
  • Work closely with courts and criminal justice agencies to support sentence management 
  • Provide workshops and briefings to probation staff and external stakeholders 
  • Use pro-social modelling to reinforce positive behaviours 

With regular feedback and professional development, you’ll have the support you need to grow in your role while making a real difference in people’s lives. 

The majority of our programmes are delivered in the evening and therefore evening work is essential in this role. You will also travel to different locations to your office base to deliver these programmes. Travel expenses can be claimed.
