Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) Advisor - Prison Services
Practical careers guidance. Real plans beyond custody.
A prison sentence should not mean the end of someones working future. As a CIAG Advisor, you will help people in custody understand their skills, make realistic plans and prepare for employment, training or education after release.
You will manage a caseload, deliver one-to-one careers guidance and practical workshops, create action plans and maintain accurate records. This is purposeful work in a secure environment, with outcome targets, safeguarding responsibilities, strict procedures and prison regime changes that can disrupt even a well-planned day.
