Participant and Workforce Interventions (ex-offender related)

Seetec Pluss delivers Employment Programmes in Southern England. We provide tailored support to help Participants get back into work. We undertake a personal assessment and support to identify goals, develop a return-to-work plan and access additional help if needed.

We have identified requirements against the following:

1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Interventions We are looking for a provider to support and assist the way individuals think and behave regarding offending behaviour. The CBT intervention is required to support and identify positive change(s) leading to employment. We are looking for a programme that aims to give participants the skills to control their impulses and adopt positive, long-lasting changes in their lives. Ideally, the CBT programme should also address specific offending including, but not limited to, domestic abuse, violence, animal cruelty and cyber bullying. We are looking for a structured and tailored programme that can deliver an in-depth programme to those individuals either on a face to face or remote delivery for circa 45 participants. We anticipate the programme to last no longer than eight weeks in duration, but this can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. To be delivered by March 23

2. One-to-one Specialist bespoke disclosure support We are looking for a provider to provide one-to-one support to Participants to help improve people's lives and equip them with the skills they need to succeed in relation to disclosing convictions appropriately and positively thus demonstrating skills and confidence. The content of the support will be tailored to specific individual need. We are looking for a structured and tailored programme that can deliver an in-depth programme to those individuals either on a face to face or remote delivery for circa 45 participants. We anticipate the programme to last no longer than six to eight weeks in duration, but this can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. To be delivered by March 23

3. Workforce development - offender management We are looking for a provider to deliver a training programme to support and assist employees working with individuals with criminal conviction, including serious offences and Multi-agency public protection arrangements (MAPPA). The training programme will deliver a broader understanding of the language and terminology used and what this means in orders of offender management. We are looking for training for 10 sessions to be completed by 31 December 2021, and a further 20 sessions by March 2023.
