We believe that a career is not just about earning a living; it's about leadership, having your say and making things happen that can mean positive changes to the lives of vulnerable people.

We are a national social justice charity with more than 50 years' experience of changing lives, building stronger communities, and reducing crime.

You will have experience of working with stakeholders in the Criminal Justice System and be able to communicate effectively to partners and providers. This will include forming working relationships in the MoJ and with HMPPS, and also with external community agencies to better support the service.

You will have previous experience of supporting others and guiding them within a team as you will be required to support, coach and develop a staffing team and deputise for the Service Lead in their absence.

This role provides an excellent springboard into other criminal justice professions including experience of working with a range of criminal justice agencies.
