Criminal Justice
Criminal Justice Project Worker Permanent
Would you like to work for an award-winning charity known for being a great place to work? (Best Companies / Investors in People).
They’ve launched a new service supporting ex-offenders in the community, helping them rebuild their lives. It’s a fantastic approach to rehabilitation, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. For example, there are wellness rooms, a gym, a music studio, pool tables, and even doughnuts and news debates on Wednesdays. It’s the kind of place where you could happily spend an afternoon with a book.
This is a wonderful setting where you’ll provide support to your clients. In addition to engaging in the activities above, you’ll work with a caseload of clients, delivering 1:1 sessions to help them:
- Access housing and benefits
- Register with a GP and dentist
- Enroll in training courses
- Receive light-touch employment support
- Develop essential life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and general wellness
- You may also provide support to clients at local probation services.
This is exactly how rehabilitation should be done, and the project is truly inspiring.
