Job description

Job responsibilities

It is recognized that people in prison are vulnerable and experience avoidable differences in health and wellbeing. Support to engage with health services can provide an opportunity to connect with people who have not previously accessed routine health services to thereby improve health outcomes following release.

Leaving prison is a time of change when provision of health services necessarily transfers from one team to another, increasing the risk that any benefits achieved improving health outcomes within prison may be disrupted. It may also be a time when health needs are increased, for example the stress of living in the community after a period of being in prison may produce mental health problems. The Reconnect service is a national initiative that aims to ensure that the transfer to community health services is effective and comprehensive, and that people are supported to access all the services that they need after release. These may be services which were accessed while in prison and/or services they only needed once they are released.

The core purpose of Reconnect is to identify people who are less likely to engage with health services, identify their needs well in advance of release (where possible) and to offer them the level of support required to effectively ensure that they receive the help they need. This may be related to any health vulnerability, including mental health, physical health, substance misuse, neurodiversity or learning disability.

Peer support worker is a key role within the RECONNECT service and is an opportunity for someone who has lived experience of the criminal justice system to provide one to one support to people in the early days of leaving prison who also have an additional health vulnerability. Peer Support Workers collaborate with the clinical staff, other practitioners, and support workers to assist in improving the wellbeing of service users who use NHFT services.

The Reconnect service is based at Campbell House and covers the county of Northamptonshire and the three local prisons (HMP Five Wells, HMP Rye Hill and HMP Onley).
