Personal Wellbeing Advisor

Salary: £27,783

Contract: Full Time Permanent

Location: Nuneaton and the wider Warwickshire region as required.

Rebuilding your life after sentencing is one of the toughest challenges a person can face. But with the right support, it’s possible. That’s where you come in. 

We’re looking for a Personal Well-being Advisor — someone with a rare mix of compassion, resilience, organisation and flexibility. This is for the person who understands that rehabilitation isn’t just about offering advice; it’s about rolling up your sleeves and pro-actively supporting someone on their journey.

This is a demanding role; you'll be working in a challenging environment with people who have complex needs and who can be reluctant to engage. But when you help someone break the cycle and you see them take real steps toward transforming their life, it’s a great feeling.

About the Role:

You will support a caseload of service users in the community, including those recently released from prison or on suspended sentences and community orders. Working across community sites and probation offices, flexibility is essential. You’ll collaborate with pre-release teams, probation and internal departments to support each person’s progress. While you can often plan your own schedule, you’ll need strong prioritisation skills in this varied and challenging role.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Assessments and Action Plans: You will complete personal wellbeing assessments and create tailored action plans for each individual you work with. You will guide individuals as per their action plan, helping them reintegrate through practical well-being activities.
• Collaboration: Your intervention may be part of a wider support package so collaborating with internal and external colleagues is a key part of the role.
• Caseload Management: You’ll manage multiple individuals, balancing their needs while keeping up with all the related admin.
• Partnership Working: Identify relevant local organisations to enhance the offering to our service users.
• Quality Recording: Keep thorough, up-to-date records of all your work on our IT systems

What We’re Looking For:

• Relationship Building: You’re able to connect with people at all levels, engaging with key stakeholders within Probation and building relationships with Service Users in a way that’s genuine, promotes a sense of trust and is non-judgmental, with particular attention to confidentiality and maintenance of boundaries.
• Safeguarding awareness: You are supporting complex individuals at a challenging time in their lives and will need to be able to identify any safeguarding risks.
• IT and Administrative skills: Keeping meticulous records of every interaction to measure client progress and ensure effective interventions.
• Organisation: You can handle a busy caseload and stay on top of detailed records.
• Resilience: This role can be challenging, and results may take time, but you are the kind of person who stays committed and sees things through.

Whilst we welcome applications from those with lived experience, this role requires an enhanced DBS check and HMPPS EL1 vetting. As we wait for the necessary background checks to be completed, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to shadow your colleagues, ask questions, and learn the ropes.

Our Justice division is dedicated to transforming lives and creating safer communities. Our mission is to reduce reoffending, build stronger communities, and help people realise their potential.

At Ingeus, we’ve spent time listening to our employees to build our benefits package;

• 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to trade for additional leave.
• EAP Support programme available 24/7, including 6 free counselling sessions.
• Private medical insurance and life assurance.
• Up to 2 days of Community Giving (volunteering) each year to support a cause that matters to you.
• Eyecare vouchers to help with glasses or eye care.
• Online Shopping discounts
• Cycle to Work scheme and travel season ticket loan.
• Long service awards to celebrate your commitment.
• Salary Finance offering financial education and advice.
• The opportunity to purchase extra benefits like critical illness cover and dental insurance.

We understand that everyone’s journey is different, and we’re committed to making our recruitment process as inclusive and accessible as possible.
