As a Therapeutic Group Facilitator, you will play a pivotal role in delivering a high‑quality therapeutic service within a Democratic Therapeutic Community of Male offenders at HMP Dovegate. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will help embed and maintain the principles of a high‑performing Therapeutic Community through the delivery of group‑based clinical work.
This is a highly responsible and influential role, requiring professional integrity, emotional resilience and a strong commitment to therapeutic values. Your work will directly contribute to reducing re‑offending, supporting psychological wellbeing and maintaining a safe, effective therapeutic environment on a 24/7 basis.

- Support accreditation, quality assurance and clinical performance in line with Community of Communities, HMPPS and CSAP requirements.
- Contribute to reducing violent and general recidivism through effective psychotherapeutic interventions.
- Ensure the Therapeutic Community meets all external requirements expected of residential custodial environments, including HMIP, ACCT, IEP and violence reduction standards.
- Support the maintenance of living accommodation and communal spaces through therapeutic processes.
- Participate in service development and training activities, including promoting the Therapeutic Community model across the wider prison estate.
Does this sound like you?

- Alternatively, substantial experience delivering group‑based therapeutic interventions.
- Experience working autonomously as part of a multidisciplinary clinical team.
- A strong understanding of Democratic Therapeutic Community principles and psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic practice.
- The ability to engage in supervision, reflect on practice and respond positively to feedback.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly for report writing and multi‑agency liaison.
- Emotional resilience and the ability to maintain professional boundaries in challenging environments.
Desirable experience includes:
· Experience working within a Therapeutic Community.
- Experience contributing to complex clinical decision‑making and risk management.
- Experience working with high‑risk individuals in multi‑professional settings.
Additional requirements:
- This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
