Prison Services Manager

About Atrium

At Atrium we provide mental health services in prisons, the workplace and to private clients. We are looking for a prison lead to join our small and friendly team. Atrium has been providing therapy services for over 20 years, and in 2010 we won a contract to deliver services to a local prison. We currently work with several London prisons.  Courses of targeted 1:1 therapy sessions are delivered under an outcomes based contract, for those prisoners who are assessed by the main healthcare provider as requiring treatment. This work provides short-term, targeted, evidence-based interventions for prisoners experiencing psychological distress.

We have had considerable success in this setting, based on our unique model of identifying the underlying causes of a prisoner’s issues, and being able to provide the right therapist and interventions to help them create genuine improvement. In joining us as Prison Lead, you have an opportunity to make a real difference to the rehabilitation and wellbeing of those offenders who are suffering.

The Role

The role will be to lead and manage the services across 4 prison locations, 3 in south east London, and one in central London. This is a senior position, and you will be the face of our Prison Services division, and accountable for its performance. This will involve working with our team of self employed therapists, the team at Atrium head office including the Clinical Director, and the management team within each prison.

The role is full time, based in London, with requirements to travel to all prison locations up to 3 days a week. Flexible, or home working, or working from the Atrium office locations in Essex (Leigh on Sea) or Central London can be discussed for the remaining 2 days, dependent on your preference.

The role will report to the Chief Operating Officer, and Clinical Director.
