This is more than a job. It’s a chance to walk alongside people at a pivotal moment, offering practical support, guidance and hope.

• Delivering through-the-gate support, ensuring continuity between prison and community

• Building strong relationships with prisons, employers and community partners
• Recording progress accurately and confidently across case management systems
• Playing an active role in community hubs and partner-led delivery

• Are passionate about rehabilitation and second chances
• Have experience supporting people with complex needs or challenging behaviours
• Are proactive, organised and solution-focused
• Can work independently across multiple locations
• Communicate confidently and build trust quickly
• Believe employment can transform lives

• Experience working to targets and supporting progression
• Enhanced DBS and Prison Vetting (required)
• Access to your own transport
• (IAG Level 3 or Teaching qualifications are desirable but not essential)

Why Join?

• Be part of a mission-driven organisation making real social impact
• Supportive team culture with ongoing training and development
• A role where no two days are the same — and every day matters
