Would you like to join a unique, high-impact, award-winning national charity transforming women's lives? 

Working Chance is the UK’s only employment charity exclusively supporting women with criminal convictions. We help women build confidence and self-worth, develop employability skills, and ultimately secure employment, education or training.

Every day we change women's lives, helping them to flourish and fulfil their potential. We work with employers across England and Wales, persuading them of the benefits of hiring people with convictions and we work with government to advocate for policy changes that will help women who experience the criminal justice system.

We’re entering an exciting period of growth and ambition, with a new three-year strategy in development. To help us reach more women and deepen our impact, we are expanding our fundraising team and diversifying our income streams.
