How the scheme can assist you

A Clean Sheet Employer is an organisation that believes everyone deserves the opportunity to start again with a 'clean sheet'. They put this belief into practice by actively considering Clean Sheet Members for employment based on their skills and merit, within the law, the terms of the individual’s licence and their own recruitment policy.

Clean Sheet Members can access the online Employers Directory upon release, and apply for vacancies knowing the employers will look beyond the stereotype.

A Clean Sheet Member is a prisoner or ex-offender who has completed our Membership Module so that we know they are work-ready. If you register while still inside, our team will start supporting you as soon as contact is made upon release.

With constant access to our helpline, our Employment Team Advisers offer as much support as you need for as long as it takes for you to find work. We also provide support and contact for 12 months after you have found work. Our team provide coaching, advice, support and encouragement to empower individuals in their job search, alongside access to our Employers' Directory.
How To Apply

In prison: speak to your Resettlement Team and ask if your prison is a Clean Sheet Partner.

In the community: ask your supporting organisation if they are a Clean Sheet Partner. If they are, fill out our Membership Module! Our team will then be in touch. If not, ask them to get in touch with us and we’ll gladly speak about how we can help!

When I left prison I was very apprehensive about applying for jobs. My feelings changed when I got in touch with Clean Sheet. I was treated with respect and my application was dealt with swiftly and sensitively. The encouragement and support was greatly needed and I didn't feel alone anymore.”
