The Regional Manager, with the support of the Head of Region and Programme Director, sets the culture, ambition and quality of the programme in their region. As such, the Regional Manager is a critical bridge between the central head office team and the regional team. For this, communication, teamwork and feedback skills are essential.

It is imperative that the Regional Manager shares the passion, drive and work ethic to make Unlocked’s vision a reality. Enthusing and empowering others will be critical. This centres around governors of prisons in the local area, both before and during placement and also includes local organisations and individuals. Gaining the support of stakeholders is key for the programme’s success.

They will lead a team of Mentoring Prison Officers (MPOs), supporting their development so that they can effectively support our participants on the wings. This will include delivering training on coaching, mentoring and adult facilitation 

The Regional Manager will take responsibility for the performance of the participants in the region, striving to develop staff and systems as appropriate to maximise participants’ impact on prisoners and the prison system.  

Like all our contract roles, this is a great opportunity to get a taster of Unlocked and we are very supportive of applicants seeking a sabbatical to experience a different organisation.
