Rebuilding your life after a custodial sentence is one of the toughest challenges a person can face. But with the right support, it’s possible. We’re looking for a dedicated Case Worker to join our team—someone with a rare mix of compassion, resilience, organisation, and flexibility. This role is for a person who understands that rehabilitation isn't just about offering advice; it’s about actively supporting someone on their journey.

As a key member of a dedicated team, you’ll help individuals overcome barriers, build confidence, and work towards training or employment, making meaningful steps toward rehabilitation.
You will also be required to attend custodial settings to provide through-the-gate support to prisoners and encourage them to attend one of our CFO Activity Hubs for ongoing help.
This is a demanding yet deeply rewarding role. You'll be working in a challenging environment with individuals who have complex needs and may be hesitant to engage. However, when you help someone break the cycle and take real steps toward transforming their life, the impact is truly life-changing—for them and for you.

* Caseload Management: Manage multiple individuals, balancing their needs while maintaining all related admin.
* Quality Recording: Keep thorough, up-to-date records of all work on our IT system, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and progress is properly tracked.
What We Are Looking For:
* Communication Skills: Ability to engage, motivate, persuade, and listen—building strong connections with those you support.
* Safeguarding Awareness: Ability to identify safeguarding risks when supporting complex individuals at challenging times.
* IT and Administrative Skills: Keeping meticulous records to measure client progress and ensure effective interventions.
* Resilience: Staying committed and seeing things through despite challenges and timeframes.
* Travel: Ability to travel across various locations covered by the role.
