A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced professional to join Pact as we continue delivering a community-based service
supporting people with convictions to improve their personal and emotional wellbeing.

needs of each individual. You will also deliver group sessions and workshops to support the development of skills and strategies
such as communication, resilience, negotiation and assertiveness skills; confidence in social interactions and positive coping
strategies. You will be responsible for working towards service delivery targets and providing information to evidence outcomes
achieved. Working with other professionals in partnership delivery will also be key.

As a key member of our values-led charity, you will be motivated to support people to turn their lives around. With a background

strength and capacity to change their behavior and engage with other services and activities which may assist them. You will have
an awareness of mental health issues, substance misuse and learning difficulties and/or learning disabilities which impact upon a
service user's emotional wellbeing and know how to respond to these sensitively. You will also have excellent interpersonal skills
to equip you to build important relationships with partner agencies.

every human being, and our work focuses on human relationships, family and community. We are committed to achieving high standards
of quality in all that we do.

Pact offers a range of benefits including a free advice, information and counseling service, contributory pension, corporate eye
care scheme, cycle to work scheme and generous holiday entitlement of 30 days per year plus bank holidays. You will have the
opportunity to attend training events to further develop yourself as a professional. You will undergo a thorough induction process
and be supported by a friendly and enthusiastic team., This post is subject to a 6-month probationary period, verification of identity and proven right to work in the UK, satisfactory
