National pub chain Greene King is among a number of businesses offering jobs to inmates upon their release from Doncaster’s prisons.
Prison education provider Novus, which works in HMP Doncaster, Hatfield, Lindholme and Moorland, as well as others across Yorkshire and the Humber, has been running a scheme which has seen the number of offenders moving directly into employment by 65 per cent over three years.
Under the ‘Yorkshire Model’, Novus delivers education as well as employment support, making engagement between prisons and businesses easier while providing prisoners with a consistent team working with them from course delivery through to securing a job after their release.
