The role
To place ex-offender candidates into sustainable paid employment with local employers
Purpose
We place people with convictions into paid work, so they can build purposeful lives and see their families thrive
Mission
We do this by providing practical employment support, linking them to companies with good jobs
Vision
A society where people’s past convictions don’t define their employment future
Duties and Tasks
There are three main areas of work, all of which are vital to achieving the key positive outcome for the individuals we support: sustained meaningful employment.
1. Job Finder Support
Interviewing ex-offenders, offering one-to-one job coaching to help them into work, and providing ongoing mentoring for the first 12 months in employment.
Ours is a face-to-face, holistic and wraparound service that culminates in our candidates finding good jobs that last, with a wide array of socially inclusive employers on our books. Our job finder support can begin in custody and continue through the gate into the community, or start in the community. Typically, we will work with a person for between one and three months to establish work readiness and will continue to support them for up to a year once they find employment. Many people stay in touch and return to us for their second or third job over a period of years, and we consider our door to be open for as long as support is needed.
You will:
- Conduct one-to-one assessments with job-seeking candidates and, using your professional judgement, accept them directly into our paid-work search services or refer them to partner organisations for pre-employability support where issues such as substance misuse or homelessness remain significant barriers.
- Work with candidates over several weeks and months as a job mentor, meeting regularly to assist in all aspects of their job search.
- Help craft strong CVs and disclosure letters, ensuring candidates understand the facts and disclosure obligations relating to spent and unspent convictions.
- Check that candidates have the correct Right to Work documentation and arrange replacement birth certificates and National Insurance letters where required.
- Book candidates onto relevant training courses with third-party providers, including CSCS cards, HGV driver training and renewable energy qualifications.
- Encourage and support candidates in their own job search activity, including teaching them how to use online job boards and complete application forms.
- Submit candidates for vacancies with our inclusive employer partners and proactively identify additional opportunities on their behalf.
- Organise interviews, ensuring candidates have suitable interview clothing and the financial means to travel to interviews where required.
- Follow up immediately after interviews, helping candidates process outcomes, manage expectations and rebuild confidence if unsuccessful.
- Confirm job starts with both candidate and employer, ensuring candidates have access to any required workwear and travel-to-work support.
- Offer practical assistance as needed, including food parcels, hygiene packs, pre-loaded SIM cards, clothing and utility top-ups.
2. New Employer Engagement
Expanding our network of employers to generate a regular flow of job opportunities and enable more candidates to move into work.
This requires new business development and excellent relationship management. You will identify the roles most sought after by our candidates and focus on employers who demonstrate agility and responsiveness in their hiring processes. Contacts are likely to include business owners, divisional managers and site supervisors rather than social value or EDI teams.
You will:
- Proactively approach local employers advertising roles that match the skills and experience of current candidates, with the aim of securing interviews and recruitment instructions.
- Approach organisations that are not currently recruiting but are likely to offer suitable opportunities in the future.
- Maintain and develop a database of active and prospective employers.
- Take ownership of specific sectors or geographical areas in consultation with colleagues to maximise reach and avoid duplication.
- Visit employers to explain our services, answer questions about employing people with convictions and gain a thorough understanding of the workplace environment.
- Select and submit suitable candidates, advocating for each individual based on your knowledge of their strengths, achievements and progress.
- Positively challenge employer concerns where appropriate and advocate for fair consideration of candidates.
- Disclose offending history and risk profiles appropriately, highlighting personal attributes and workplace strengths while guiding employers through the recruitment process in partnership with the candidate.
3. In-Work Support
Supporting candidates to sustain employment for up to one year after starting work.
Maintaining employment is a key part of the journey. Newly employed candidates, particularly recent prison leavers, can face a range of practical, emotional and lifestyle challenges. The strongest chance of successfully supporting both candidate and employer comes from strong relationships built on trust, honesty and confidence.
You will:
- Advise employers on successfully onboarding new employees during their first weeks and months in work.
- Help employers understand and accommodate any additional support needs, such as housing transitions, medical appointments or probation requirements.
- Be aware of and proactively manage issues relating to media attention around previous convictions, including advising on measures to protect privacy and reputation where appropriate.
- Maintain regular contact with candidates during their first 12 months in employment through phone calls, meetings and ongoing mentoring support.
- Record all candidate and employer interactions, progress and outcomes on the Itris recruitment CRM database.
This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks and may be amended from time to time in line with the needs of the charity.

Today, one person is diagnosed with leprosy every three minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. The physical effects of the disease are brutal, but the social effects are even worse. Severe stigma means that people can be thrown out of their families and communities. Rejected and isolated, they are left with no opportunities and no hope. This is not how God wants people affected by leprosy to live. Our work aims to restore life in all its fullness.
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with 152 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We work in thirty countries.

It exists as a marketing tool for TLM in the UK, raising funds and awareness by selling a range of products through its mail order catalogue and website. TLM Shop is a Christian business, serving people of all faiths and none. There is an occupational requirement for the Copywriter and Product Manager to be a committed Christian as you will be producing Chrisitan communications and developing Christian own brand products for the Christian gift market.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign and comply with all organisational policies, including the Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policies. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We arecommitted to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.
Hours: Part-time, 22.5 hours per week.

Job Purpose
As one of our High Support Needs IDVAs, you will be part of our experienced and dedicated adult team reporting to the HSN IDVA Manager covering the Canterbury District area, and your role will include a mixture of working from Catching Lives homeless centre, community and office working.

About the Role
This is a role where you’ll really see the difference you make.
As Educational Partnerships Manager, you’ll work across Hull, East Riding, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire, building partnerships with schools, colleges, youth organisations and community groups-particularly in areas where opportunities are hardest to come by.
You’ll be right in the mix: planning events, delivering programmes, supporting volunteers and connecting with school staff to make sure young people have access to our inspiring enterprise and financial education experiences.
You’ll be a key driver of our Inspiring Futures programme-helping young people break down barriers and imagine bigger futures.
It’s a varied, people-focused role with loads of room for creativity, independence and collaboration. Whether you’re visiting a school, chatting with a funder, or supporting a trade fair, you’ll be helping young people build skills that will last a lifetime.
You’ll love this job if you are…
- A brilliant relationship-builder, confident working with teachers, volunteers, and community leaders.

- Self-motivated, adaptable, and happy working remotely but never alone-you’ll be part of a close-knit regional team.
- Excited by the idea of doing a job that combines delivery, relationship-building, fundraising and volunteering.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and grow relationships with schools, colleges, youth clubs and local communities.
- Focus on expanding our reach in areas of multiple deprivation and underrepresentation.
- Deliver and support the rollout of YE programmes in schools and other settings.

- Work with your regional team to meet shared goals and celebrate local impact.
- Help secure local funding by supporting fundraising efforts and managing project deliverables.
- Support the planning of events, trade fairs and celebrations for young people.
- Keep accurate records, track impact, and make sure safeguarding is front and centre.
A few practical things:
- This is a hands-on role-you’ll sometimes be lifting resources, setting up venues and travelling regularly (a car and full driving licence are essential).
- You’ll need to be happy occasionally working evenings or weekends during peak delivery times.
- Expect to be on your feet during some events or sessions-it’s all part of the fun!
