Job Description
An exciting opportunity to work for the Offender Management unit (OMU) at HMP Thameside, the only OMU in the country delivered by a third sector organisation since its opening in 2012.

We are seeking a driven individual who strives for best practice and is passionate in making a difference to people’s lives. In this role you will have the opportunity to be part of a high performing Offender Management Service with its function to identify, assess, address, and reduce risks of sentenced prisoners, whilst also motivating them to engage positively within custodial regime.
Want to be part of an organisation who is committed to the development and progression of their staff? As of September 2022, 73% of our management group have progressed from frontline roles within Catch22, which allows us to offer progression opportunities for staff under the leadership of managers with frontline experience.
