Adults have a proven reoffending rate of 25%. Forward Trust are on a mission to change that because we believe another life is possible.

We support People on Probation in Sussex to successfully complete their Probation Supervision, to stop offending, and to live their potential. Delivering interventions and providing support so that they build relationships with their community, other services, pro social friends, families, and themselves. Building a crime free life stops the cycle of harm.

Our People on Probation Interventions help adult men understand their lifestyle and associates, their family and significant other relationships, their emotional wellbeing, and how to overcome social exclusion.  You will walk alongside them as they navigate the consequences of their crimes on their relationships and themselves, leave behind relationships that lead to offending, and repair and build relationships that move them Forward to another life.

In West Sussex we work alongside the Probation Service within the Worthing, Little Hampton and Crawley probation service offices. We may also be required to work alongside prison Resettlement Teams in prisons within HMP Lewes and HMP Ford.  

A work day for you might include facilitating a group music intervention, checking on the progress of a community allotment project, meeting someone prior to being released from prison, delivering a 1:1 with a Service User experiencing family breakdown, taking someone to the Doctors for the first time in their adult life, and finishing the day taking the winning penalty in a game of football – nice shot by the way!

A full UK driving license is desirable for this role as travel between venues is essential.
