Jobs in Stoneham

Would you like to join a charity recognised as a great place to work (Investors in People / Best Companies Awards)? This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting new phase, supporting a forward-thinking criminal justice programme.

In this role, you will manage a caseload of clients at HMP Lewes (3–4 days per week) and Worthing Probation Service (1–2 days per week).

You’ll support a caseload of clients both in custody and in the community, helping them to successfully resettle before and after release. You will work with individuals to ensure they have a clear and structured plan in place, covering key areas such as housing, healthcare, education, wellbeing, life skills, and employment.

You’ll meet with clients on a one-to-one basis to deliver tailored support and guidance, as well as signpost to relevant services both within the prison and in the community, ensuring continuity of support throughout their resettlement journey.

To apply, you must have experience working with individuals within the criminal justice system, either in a prison or custodial setting. Alternatively, experience supporting vulnerable individuals in areas such as mental health, substance misuse, or homelessness is also highly relevant. Criminology graduates with relevant voluntary experience (for example, supporting individuals facing similar challenges) are encouraged to apply.
