Thames Valley Restorative Justice Service is looking for an experienced senior restorative justice practitioner/experienced facilitator to provide restorative justice skills and expertise in support of its prisons restorative justice project.
This is an associate opportunity. It will be paid at the rate of £150 a day plus expenses, for up to 30 days over the next 9 months. The role will be home-based with the expectation that a significant proportion of the work will be delivered within a prison environment.

The initial work will be in prisons within the Thames Valley – HMP Bullingdon and others.
Main Tasks:
- To provide case supervision, skills support, expertise and ‘mentoring’ to develop prison-initiated restorative justice through a team of volunteer facilitators.
- The facilitation and co-facilitation of serious and complex cases.
- To assess whether and when the volunteer facilitators are ready to take work and support practice development, for example by coaching or working a case together.
- To organise and run group casework discussion/supervision with volunteer facilitators.
- To support the restorative justice development manager to develop the performance and outcome reporting framework.
