Salary: £24,000 - £26,000 per annum
We are The Forward Trust, the social enterprise that empowers people to break the cycle of crime or addiction to move forward with their lives. For more than 30 years we have been working with people to build positive and productive lives, whatever their past. We believe that anyone is capable of lasting change. Our services have supported thousands of people to make positive changes and build productive lives with a job, family, friends and a sense of community.
A whole family approach to treatment, recovery and rehabilitation is widely evidenced to improve outcomes for the people we work with. At the Forward Trust we define family as a group of 2 or more individuals whose relationship plays a significant role in their lives. We recognise the value and complexity of family and understand the potential positive and negative impact of relationships. We believe how a family is defined is up to the individuals within that system and that we all hold our own unique version of what family looks like.
