Unlocked Graduates is an award-winning charity which exists to break cycles of reoffending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.

At the core of our mission is a leadership development programme that brings top graduates into prisons to work as frontline prison officers for two years. This programme includes mentoring, work placements in partner organisations and a fully funded master’s degree. All of which they take part in while taking on the full duties of a frontline prison officer.

Interns are an invaluable part of our team and work across all areas, undertaking a range of tasks and responsibilities. The key project deliverable for this role is the Unlocked Graduates Summer Institute (SI), a 6 week training programme for our new cohort of Prison Officers. The successful candidates will work closely with the Programme Team in Leeds to support the delivery of SI and gain broad experience in event coordination and project management, as well as a specific insight into the training required to become an exceptional Prison Officer.

For July and August the role will mainly be based at Leeds Trinity University, during which time your work pattern may vary and time off in lieu will be agreed in advance for extended work days or weekend work. Accommodation will be provided for this period and you will be able to expense travel on weekends to return home.

Three full-time positions available.

Start date: One candidate to start on 16th May 2022
