Mental Wellbeing Coach (Prison-based)

About us

Big Life is in the business of changing lives. We fight inequality by working with people and places to create opportunities and inspire change. Whatever service we deliver to help people to change their lives, we do things the Big Life Way.

What you'll be doing


As a Mental Wellbeing Coach for our new prison-based mental wellbeing service, you will support people in prison to navigate their way through the complex health and social care environment, removing the barriers that may impede self-management and helping to embed coping strategies.


This new service will work in collaboration with partner organisations to provide one-to-one support and group support, as well as targeted wellbeing courses tailored to the specific priorities of people in prison, including housing, mental health, education, and debt management.

What we need from you

  • You will offer help, advice, and emotional support to people in prison.
  • You will use personcentred coaching tools and relationshipbased practice to support people to achieve goals and address issues that are important to them.
  • You will develop effective working relationships with partners, stakeholders, and local organisations to create social networks and local activities that can be sustained by the community in the longerterm, once a person in prison has been released.
  • You will deliver a range of peer coaching onetoone or group interventions.
What we will offer you in return

  • An annual salary of £29,439 (NJC SCP 22)
  • A permanent, fulltime contract
  • You'll work across our four prison sites: Forrest Bank, Styal, Risley and Thorncross
  • 25 days holiday, and 30 once you've been here five years
  • A relaxed culture where you are expected to plan your own day, take breaks when you need them and enjoy your work
  • Ongoing personal and professional development through regular supervision
  • A supportive, flexible approach to managing staff health and wellbeing, including a wide range of perks, schemes and support.
What next?

Big Life strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can all be ourselves. We strongly encourage applicants from all parts of society.

You can read on our careers site about the actions we are taking ourselves to fight inequality and inspire change.


We actively value the lived experiences and expertise of our staff, volunteers and the people who use our service and see the extra value that they bring to our organisation.
