Not everyone associates sport, physical education and wellbeing as being a job that they could do in a prison, but Charlotte does just that as a Physical Education Instructor, or PEI for short, in a male prison. Lynsey has a good conversation with Charlotte about how she has autonomy over her role to react to interests or needs of prisoners and staff to create courses, classes and initiatives to help support mental and physical wellbeing, whilst always being mindful that she may be needed to react to an incident at a moments notice within a potentially hugely hostile environment.
Charlotte gets to participate in sport and physical activity as part of her day to day job as well as racking up the qualifications she holds that can add to her experience as her career progresses - either within or outside of the prison service. Charlotte teaches to an audience that may not be the easiest but if you like a challenge, like Charlotte does, this role may be a good fit for you.
