We are recruiting for a Supporting People On Probation Navigator in Southend On Sea.

We are Forward, the social enterprise that empowers people to break the cycle of crime and addiction to move forward and live fulfilling lives.

We deliver a range of MOJ-Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRS) directly for Probation in three key areas: Accommodation, Personal Wellbeing, and Dependency and Recovery. Accommodation is delivered in Wales, Dependency and Recovery in London and Humberside, and Personal Wellbeing in East of England, Sussex, Surrey, and as a subcontractor in Kent and Cheshire.

These services work with men aged 18+ who are under probation supervision, supporting them to navigate through their desired outcomes to achieve transformational change, break the cycle of offending, and attain long-term societal integration.

Our services have supported thousands of people to make positive changes and build productive lives with a job, family, friends, and a sense of community. No matter what your past, we believe anyone is capable of lasting change.

Responsibilities include managing a caseload, providing advice and guidance, assessing, care planning, and delivering structured 1:1 and group sessions within the Personal Wellbeing Services.
