Our vision is for advice and support to be available in every court across the UK. As a result, the successful candidate will take us into a new period of growth.

Creative problem-solving

Helpful
We’re ready and willing to help anyone. We can stay by their side for as long as they want us.
Determined
We never give up. We advocate for people and encourage them to find their own voice.
Growing charity
CASS+ has over 18 years’ experience focussing on social inequalities. We have 11 staff at five sites in five courts, around 21 volunteers, and, each year, we serve over 800 people through the Justice System and into life beyond.
