About the Role
We are looking to recruit a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner to join our team.

We are able to offer our team members the opportunity to continue to develop their expertise via training and development opportunities in different parts of our service.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
THIS POSITION INVOLVES WORKING ACROSS MULTIPLE PRISON SITES SO THEREFORE ABILITY TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL INDEPENDENTLY IS ESSENTIAL AS SOME SITES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
What Makes Us Different?
Our service uses an integrated model from arrest to release from prison, thus allowing a PWP’s and the wider team to know the full process and journey of the service user. We have found this model really works and makes our working much more collaborative and joined up. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join the team and help us build, shape, and grow our service. We want to hear your ideas.
The role will be based across the 3 prisons.
Our trust values are Positively, Respectfully, and Together, and we want someone to join the team who lives and breathes these values.
