  • We are looking for a Laundry & Sewing Industry Instructor to lead a hands-on workshop that integrates prison laundry operations with textile projects aimed at rehabilitation.
  • The workshop can accommodate up to 35 individuals and includes laundry services, textile work for local causes, and partnerships with businesses for logo applications.
  • Candidates should have experience in laundry, textiles, or garment production, along with previous supervisory or training experience.
  • The position offers a salary of $45,000 per year and requires a minimum of three years of relevant experience.
  • This is a unique opportunity to contribute to personal growth and skill development in a supportive environment focused on rehabilitation.

We’re seeking a Laundry & Sewing Industry Instructor to lead a busy, hands-on workshop that blends traditional prison laundry operations with meaningful textile projects – all with the goal of rehabilitation, skill-building, and preparing individuals for employment beyond custody

This unique workshop space accommodates up to 35 individuals and combines:

  • Laundry services for the prison
  • Textile work supporting local causes (e.g., making tote bags for a local hospice)
  • Partnerships with local businesses for applying logos to workwear
  • Clothing repairs and other hands-on tasks

You’ll take full responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the workshop, including:

  • Supervising and motivating a team of prisoners in laundry and textile production
  • Setting clear schedules and performance targets
  • Promoting a safe, structured, and supportive work environment
  • Supporting skill development and work-readiness through the Employability Passport
  • Managing stock, tools, and materials while maintaining security protocols
  • Contributing to reports and prisoner rehabilitation plans
  • Encouraging personal growth, accountability, and restorative practices

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in laundry, textiles, garment production, or a similar hands-on industry
  • Previous supervisory, instructor, or training experience
  • Strong organisational and time-management skills
  • A focus on health & safety and compliance
  • A proactive, people-first mindset
  • Experience in a custodial or secure environment is a bonus but not essential – we provide full training and support

This role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference, helping individuals build confidence, gain skills, and prepare for life after prison. You'll work as part of a committed, supportive team focused on rehabilitation and positive change.
