The support you provide will focus on resettlement and rehabilitation, helping people access housing, prepare for employment, set goals, and take positive steps forward.

1. Experience working in criminal justice, or with vulnerable clients (e.g., housing, addiction, mental health)
2. Or a criminology graduate with relevant voluntary experience
3. Flexibility to travel when required across Norfolk and Suffolk

This could suit someone with experience in probation, housing, resettlement, employment support, or simply someone passionate about second chances.

What's On Offer

1. 25 days leave (rising over time)
2. 2 paid volunteering days
3. Enhanced pension & life assurance
4. Paid travel and mileage
5. A supportive team who value your impact
