Join a Recognised Charity Supporting Criminal Justice Reform
Be part of an exciting new journey with a cutting-edge criminal justice support programme, recognized as a great place to work (Investors in People / Best Companies Awards).
Role Overview
You will manage a caseload of clients at HMP Bullingdon, a men’s Cat B/C Prison, and in Oxford/Bicester Community settings. Your clients will be within 6–12 months of release, and your primary focus will be providing through-the-gate support, with a clear plan for their release. You will meet with clients one-to-one to discuss and plan activities related to housing, resettlement, healthcare, education, wellbeing, life skills, and employment. You will deliver individual sessions on these themes and signpost to services both within the prison and upon release to ensure ongoing support.

To apply, you should have experience working with individuals within the criminal justice system, either in a prison or custodial setting. Experience supporting vulnerable clients in mental health, substance abuse, or homelessness is also valuable.
