About the Service

• Women and Children's Services We run services and dedicated women’s centres for those who are at risk or struggling with challenging circumstances, including women in the criminal justice system and those with experience of trauma, selling sex or sexual exploitation.
  
  We understand that women and girls have experiences which are different to men and can experience vulnerabilities that are specific to their gender.

Childhood abuse and domestic abuse are common features in the lives of the women we support which impact on their health and wellbeing.

Underpinning all our services is an in-depth understanding of trauma and a focus on recovery, resilience and community integration.

About the Job Changing Lives have been providing gender specific services to women involved in the Criminal Justice System for 12 years.

Women become involved in the Criminal Justice System for a complex range of reasons.

In our gender specific services, we provide holistic support to women by women, to overcome challenges and address needs, enabling them to successfully move‑on from services and live fulfilling, crime free flourishing lives.

We are looking to expand our team of Specialist Caseworkers, working in both a custody and community setting in the East Midlands.

We are seeking dynamic, personable, tenacious, highly motivated, and empathic individuals to do these roles, who can manage their own workloads but who also value being part of a multi-disciplinary team.

At Changing Lives, we value a diverse workforce and are keen to recruit people of all ages and from all backgrounds, abilities and ethnicities.

Jobs are provided by the Find a Job Service from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
