Overview
Catch22 Birmingham, United Kingdom. Join to apply for the Counsellor - Birmingham role at Catch22.
Company Description
Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'. We achieve this in two ways. First, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda. In August 2024, Redthread became part of the Catch22 group. Both organisations share aligned missions and values, and we have a history of collaboration. Redthread will continue to operate under its established brand.
