Within Care and Rehabilitation Services, the philosophy of our prisons is to rehabilitate offenders and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release. We seek to normalise prison conditions as far as possible to reflect life in the outside community. Our aim is to create an environment in which staff and prisoners feel safe and causes of prison stress are minimised. Central to our philosophy is the relationship between staff and prisoners. Our training and operational practices emphasise the need to treat prisoners with dignity and respect and G4S staff build positive and supportive relationships with the prisoners in their care.
HMP & YOI Parc accommodates 1800 convicted male adult prisoners and remand/ convicted young offenders and young people in a secure but modern environment.
This role is an exciting opportunity to join our Early Days in Custody (EDIC) Case Management Team at HMP Parc and make a real difference to the first impressions that prisoners have when they come to us.
Our EDIC team has been established to ensure newly arrived prisoners have a positive experience where they are treated with dignity, respect and care. The team will provide a consistent point of support from the moment prisoners arrive on their transport until they leave our induction unit, ensuring they feel welcome, looked after and calm.
