How the scheme can assist you

We can help you with getting into paid, permanent work. This can be helping to do things like writing a CV and disclosure letter, or getting interview clothes and your ID ready to start a job. We then have employers that we work with that can offer you interviews and jobs. When you have a job offer, we can help with your bus travel, work boots and other things you need to start the job. And once in work, we’re here for 6 months to help with any questions you have or help you need. 

We can also help with getting you onto courses that lead to jobs like the CSCS card, Forklift licence or Rail Track courses.

How To Apply
Serving prisoners: Get in touch with Education, ask them to send us an email with your prisoner number and information, we will then write back to you on Email a Prisoner.

In the community: Call, email, text or write to us.

All is going well, and it has turned out to be the best thing for me, I know what I am doing in the job and in the space of three weeks they are making me a team supervisor which is an extra quid an hour. Without you changing my CV this would not have been possible.”
