Redemption Roasters Community Training Manager
Role summary:

Introducing Redemption Roasters
Redemption Roasters has a clear mission: to reduce reoffending through coffee.
To achieve this, we deliver barista training to those with experience of the criminal justice system, both in prison and the community, with direct routes into employment in our 12 London coffee shops. Participants are matched with a caseworker to support their transition from the training room into work.
By providing paid employment, case work support, and on-going training, we create an environment that supports our programme participants to lead a positive life away from the Criminal Justice System.
