About us


Changing Lives is a nationwide charity helping people facing the most challenging of circumstances to make positive change - for good.

We believe that everyone deserves a safe home, a rewarding job and a life free from addiction or abuse. We know that given the right support, anyone can change their life for the better.


Our services across the country help thousands of people each year who are experiencing a wide range of complicated challenges, including homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, unemployment, involvement with the criminal justice system, sexual exploitation and domestic abuse.

By focusing on their strengths, potential and opportunities, we support the people we work with to overcome their problems and live safe, successful, independent lives.


Our charity is powered by over 600 passionate colleagues who bring a diverse and inclusive environment for our colleagues to grow.

We are proud to say that many have actual lived experience of the challenges faced by those we support. We are looking for committed and compassionate professionals to join our team, who share our enthusiasm for changing lives.

About the Service - Criminal Justice Services
Changing Lives delivers a range of projects that support women involved in the Criminal Justice System. We believe that individuals become involved in the Criminal Justice System for a complex range of reasons.


Our experience has taught us that to help women stop offending and to rebuild their lives, we must address the underlying causes of crime.

Our services are underpinned by an in-depth understanding of trauma and we support women to address challenges such as domestic abuse, homelessness or poor housing, helping women to develop tools to ensure that trauma in their past does not define the rest of their lives.

We know that with the right support around them, women so often are able to break the cycle of crisis and crime.


We currently deliver diversion from custody schemes, education, training and employment services, and holistic services to women serving community sentences or following release from custody.

We also provide some pre-release services and have a presence across a number of women's prisons nationally. Our criminal justice services cover Northumbria, Cleveland, South Yorkshire, West Midlands, East Midlands, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire.

About the Job
This is a unique opportunity and role, where you can make a difference to improve people's lives. We are seeking dynamic, highly motivated, creative and engaging individuals to be Criminal Justice Recovery workers.

To engage and support people who are involved within the Criminal Justice sector who are on court orders, and who are experiencing substance and / or alcohol issues.

To provide advice, encourage and enable them to access a wide range of Recovery Orientated Support with the aim of engaging clients in treatment and recovery and reducing re-offending


Within this new and exciting opportunity, the Criminal Justice Engagement Worker will strengthen professional relationships with other external organisations involved in the supervision, care and treatment, including but not exclusive to Courts, Probation, Police, Prison and Prison releases.

All interventions delivered will be based on a trauma informed, strength based approach. Delivering psycho social interventions, supporting individuals to make positive changes to their lifestyle.
