Make a real difference in your community

Are you passionate about helping others live safer, healthier, more independent lives? Join our team at Waythrough and support people facing challenges around mental health, substance use, housing or domestic abuse. This is more than just a job - it's a chance to build meaningful relationships and create lasting change.

About the Role

As Service Manager, you'll take responsibility for the effective delivery and development of our Reconnected to Health services across HMP Deerbolt and HMP Kirklevington Grange.

You'll provide strong operational leadership, ensuring our services remain safe, effective and focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for the people we support. You'll lead, manage and develop a dedicated team, ensuring staff have the support and direction they need to deliver high-quality interventions.

You'll work closely with prison colleagues, commissioners, healthcare partners and other internal and external stakeholders, building strong relationships and representing Waythrough positively. You'll also monitor performance, use data and management information to drive continuous improvement, manage budgets and ensure the services meet the required quality and contractual standards.

This role provides an excellent opportunity for someone with existing management experience to bring their skills to an innovative prison-based service, while also offering an opportunity for an experienced practitioner who is ready to take the next step into management.

You'll be joining a fully recruited team at HMP Deerbolt, an innovative prison that is open to piloting new approaches and developing new ways of working. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of the service, work across two sites and play an important role in supporting continuity of care across the North East.

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with commissioners, prison partners and other stakeholders.
• Contributing to the wider regional management team and supporting the continued development of Waythrough.
• Ensuring services operate in line with relevant legislation, policies, procedures and professional standards.
• Promoting our values of Kindness, Courage and Respect in everything you do.
