HMP Rye Hill is a category 'B' training prison situated in the village of Willoughby, near Rugby in Warwickshire, holding approximately 664 sentenced male adults.

G4S Care & Rehabilitation Services (CaRS) already successfully manages 4 prisons, one secure training centre and a number of community contracts in England and Wales. The philosophy of our prisons is to rehabilitate offenders and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release. We seek to normalise prison conditions as far as possible to reflect life in the outside community. Our aim is to create an environment in which staff and prisoners feel safe.

We are now looking for a number of Industry Tutors to join our Activities Function at HMP Rye Hill in Rugby. You will be working closely with Prisoners on a daily basis and will coordinate workshop activities in line with Prison regime requirements, developing the prisoner’s skills and supporting them through qualifications.

An ability to work in partnership with others and excellent interpersonal skills are also required.

Thorough knowledge and experience of the industry is essential together with a Carpentry qualification. Prisoners within this area will be working towards Level 1, 2 and 3 Carpentry & Joinery courses and you will be required to support them through these.

If you join us, you can be sure that you’ll find a secure, friendly and professional working environment and be given all the support, training and encouragement you need to build and develop a successful career with us.
