In the role of Partnership Lead, you will play a pivotal part in a fast-growing, pioneering charity supporting young men leaving prison to build stable, rewarding lives.

Switchback is a charity rooted in relationships and nowhere is this more critical than in our partnerships with organisations providing training, education, and employment opportunities for the young men (Trainees) we support following release from prison.

This role holds primary responsibility for developing, managing and continuously improving Switchback’s partnership ecosystem across all 10 pathways, ensuring that Trainees have access to high-quality and diverse range of opportunities that support sustained rehabilitation outcomes.
