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.
