Opportunities
We are a small advocacy charity working to a large remit. Unfortunately, we are not always able to fulfil the large number of requests we receive for work placements, internships, voluntary work or assist with academic research.
However, when we do have paid and unpaid opportunities available, they will be featured on this page, in our newsletter, and social media channels.
There are many voluntary organisations working nationally in the criminal justice system. We recommend that you explore the latest vacancies and opportunities via Clinks, which promotes and represents the voluntary sector working with people in the criminal justice system and their families.

Lived Experience Advisory Panel
We are now recruiting to our Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP).

The LEAP will work closely with our Senior Management Team and Board of Trustees to:
- Inform discussion and decision-making at board level.
- Place lived experience perspective at the Prison Reform Trust’s heart and influence the direction of the organisation.
- Support the development of new projects and ideas that will allow us to improve and grow our services and reach.
