Start a ripple of change in your community
One decision, one conversation, one plan can be the starting point for a ripple of change – beginning with an offender and reaching families, neighbourhoods and communities.
There are many different roles available with different experience and qualifications needed. For some roles, you do not need any qualifications. Personal qualities are more important. In all our jobs, you’ll get support and training at every step.
