Jobs, voluntary work, education or training

Having a criminal record can get in the way when you apply for jobs. So can things like low confidence or the fear of having to tell an employer about a conviction in a job interview.

It doesn't matter to us when you received your conviction, what is was for or how many you have - if you need help getting a job, accessing education, or developing your career, we're here to help. Our staff are friendly and patient and will never judge you.

We can help you find work, education or training (from functional skills in English and maths all the way to university degrees) or a combination of each. First we'll arrange a call with you to find out more about what you're looking for and check our service is right for you.

After that you'll get your own support worker who will give you guidance on things like your CV, how to do a brilliant interview and how to tell potential employers about any convictions.

We have relationships with over 110 employers (big and small, in all sorts of sectors) around the country who are open to hiring women with convictions. We'll do our best to give you a choice of jobs to apply for that match with your preferences and abilities - there are no guarantees of course, but 70% of the women who completed employability support with us found a role.

Just fill in and submit the enquiry form below and one of our team will be in touch within 24 hours.

So what are you waiting for? Get in touch if you are in England or Wales and let's see if we can help!
