The Forward Trust is a UK leading provider of drug and alcohol treatment services to offenders. We deliver treatment and recovery support - in prisons and in the community - which helps people move away from addiction and crime. These services provide a variety of support, including advice, counselling, group work, and intensive treatment. At The Forward Trust, we believe that all people who are addicted to or misusing substances should have access to effective support that protects their health and motivates them towards their own recovery. Over 20 years of pursuing this mission, we have successfully moved thousands of drug-dependent offenders away from a lifestyle revolving around crime and substance dependence.
We are committed to providing opportunities to all people, including those with 'Lived Experience.' We encourage applications from all backgrounds, including those in recovery from addiction, co-dependency, or gambling, who have experience of previous offending or homelessness. If you would like to give back and develop your skills, our trainee programme could be just what you are looking for.
We ask you to commit to a recognised qualification whilst completing your one-year traineeship, and in return, we will provide you with a comprehensive support package.
