* Partnerships with local businesses for applying logos to workwear

* Promoting a safe, structured, and supportive work environment
* Supporting skill development and work-readiness through the Employability Passport
* Managing stock, tools, and materials while maintaining security protocols
* Contributing to reports and prisoner rehabilitation plans

* Previous supervisory, instructor, or training experience
* Strong organisational and time-management skills
* A focus on health & safety and compliance
* A proactive, people-first mindset
