ABOUT THE TURNAROUND PROJECT:

The _Turnaround Project_ helps people who have been given prison or community sentences to turn around their futures.

Working with people before and after they complete their sentences, and providing real jobs in transitional employment opportunities, Turnaround works to tackle the barriers between them and employment.

In the process, Turnaround engages the wider community in supporting people on their journey and reducing the social and financial impact of reoffending.

Our approach seeks to address as many of the factors that impact on that journey as possible.

But transitional training and employment opportunities, before and after people complete their sentences, sits at the centre of what we do.

Those transitional training and employment opportunities are provided within social enterprises established and run by the Turnaround Project. Real training and real jobs, in real enterprises.


Transitional employment is different to conventional employment, with our enterprises providing a supportive environment that recognises the particular challenges faced by many of the people we exist to support.

That means we look for staff who we believe have the right mix of skill, empathy, flexibility and commitment that is necessary to make our enterprises a success.


We need people who will work to make our enterprises a commercial success - we need to sustain our income if we are to provide people with jobs.

But we also need people who will share our determination to make the journey through our programme a success for our trainees and employees.

Like any other enterprise, we need to generate income. But our most important bottom line is how many people we have supported to turn their lives around.


ABOUT OUTWORK:


Outwork is our property services enterprise comprising of grounds maintenance and other property services such as painting and communal cleaning.

Outwork typically operates in crews of three to five staff working under an on-site Supervisor, depending on the task, often supported by a Supervisor's Assistant.

We deliver contracts for clients who want us to do as good a job - or better - as any other commercial provider.

The Supervisor's Assistant role is:

  • To support Outwork Supervisors to ensure that we deliver high quality services for our clients and meet contract requirements, in line with service level agreements and timescales.

  • To work with Transitional Employees to encourage and bring more stability to our Outwork crews.
  • To provide a positive example to other crew members of how they should behave and work while employed with Outwork, so helping them prepare for followon employment.

Key duties:
