Are you passionate about working 1-to-1 with young prison-leavers from a variety of backgrounds; many of whom are from marginalised communities, to help them lead more stable, rewarding lives?

As a Switchback Mentor, you will play a vital role in transforming the lives of young prison-leavers, helping them break free from the justice system and build stable, rewarding futures. You will be responsible for building your own caseload by engaging directly with young men in prison and providing intensive support after their release. In addition to working with those you meet in prison; you will also support Trainees referred to the programme after they have already been released.

Once on the programme, you will maintain regular contact with Trainees, meeting face-to-face at least once a week to help them navigate the challenges of being recently released from prison and work towards their goals. Most importantly, you will do this in a way that reflects Switchback’s core values: putting Trainees at the heart of everything we do, setting high expectations, and building authentic, supportive relationships that enable lasting change.

Switchback takes the development of Mentors very seriously.

This is complemented by a comprehensive training and supervision package including: regular psychologically informed 1:1 clinical supervision and group reflective practice sessions and an annual, individualised training budget. You will also join a structured progression pathway which can provide opportunities to further develop management skills and technical expertise, informed by your own learning goals.

Switchback understands the challenges and complexities faced by the young people we work with. To ensure Mentors can provide the highest level of support, we intentionally keep caseloads low. This allows Mentors to dedicate the time and resources needed to build strong, meaningful relationships and offer Trainees the intensive, tailored support they need to make lasting change.

We’re on a mission to create fairer access to top universities and to transform how young people learn. As our Development and Delivery Lead, you will play a pivotal, leading role in shaping, delivering and growing our Meta Method programme and associated provisions.

This role is ideal for an experienced, confident educator, school support staff member, or outreach professional who thrives in front of large audiences and is ready to take ownership of high-impact delivery. You will lead the delivery of content both in person and (occasionally) online, working directly with schools, students and partners, and acting as a visible and credible ambassador for the organisation.

Alongside delivery, you will work closely with the CEO and Head of Development & Operations to develop, refine and evolve programme content, ensuring it remains engaging, pedagogically robust and responsive to the needs of schools and students. You will bring creativity, judgement and initiative, contributing to programme innovation and the organisation’s wider growth.

As a pivotal member of the Development and Operations team, you will take lead responsibility for the coordination and delivery of Meta Method and additional programmes, ensuring schools are well supported and delivery runs smoothly. You will also play an important role in growing demand for our work, leading conversations around additional programme sales, partnerships and future opportunities.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants to combine excellent delivery skills with strategic influence, and who is motivated by seeing their work translate directly into improved outcomes for young people. For the right person, the role offers real autonomy, visibility, and the chance to shape the future direction of an ambitious and values-driven organisation.

This is initially a 12-month contract, however we anticipate that the post will become permanent subject to adequate growth and funding.
