Looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact? This is an opportunity to support individuals as they move from custody back into the community, helping them build more stable and positive futures.
You’ll be working as part of a well-established charity known for developing its staff and delivering high-quality support across the criminal justice sector.
In this role, you will manage a caseload across HMP Lewes (3–4 days per week) and Worthing Probation Service (1–2 days per week).
You’ll support individuals both in custody and in the community, helping them navigate their resettlement journey before and after release. Your focus will be on ensuring each person has a clear, practical plan in place, covering areas such as housing, healthcare, education, wellbeing, life skills, and employment.
Working one-to-one, you’ll provide tailored support, deliver structured sessions, and connect individuals with the right services both inside prison and in the community, ensuring consistent support throughout.
To apply, you’ll need experience working within the criminal justice system (such as prison or probation settings). Alternatively, experience supporting vulnerable individuals in areas such as mental health, substance misuse, or homelessness is highly relevant. Criminology graduates with relevant voluntary experience are also encouraged to apply.
