About The Forward Trust
The Forward Trust is a leading provider of drug and alcohol treatment services to offenders. We deliver treatment and recovery support – in prisons and in the community – which helps people move away from addiction and crime. Our services provide a variety of support, including advice, counselling, group work, and intensive treatment. We believe that all people who are addicted to or misusing substances should have access to support which is effective in protecting their health, and motivating them to take steps towards their own recovery.
Over 20 years of pursuing this mission, we have been successful in moving thousands of drug-dependent offenders away from a lifestyle revolving around crime, and drug or alcohol dependence. We believe and are committed to providing opportunities to all people, including those with 'Lived Experience'. We encourage applications from all backgrounds, including those in recovery from addiction, co-dependency, or gambling, have experience of previous offending, or homelessness.
