Who are we?
Shaw Trust is a progressive charity on an exciting journey to help five times more people over the next five years. For over 30 years we have supported disabled and disadvantaged people to make positive changes to their lives through training and employment, and our ambitious plans need the right people to help us transform many more lives, in many more ways.
What we do is exciting, fulfilling and diverse and it’s about to get even better. As well as employment services, we work with children in schools, help offenders in prisons, and empower people to take part in activities that many of us would take for granted.
Working with us gives you far more benefits than a standard package; it gives you the chance to help turn someone’s life around.
What we need?
Shaw Trust is at the forefront of delivering new and innovative services for ex-offenders, supporting the most challenged, and challenging, in the justice system. We support gang members, women exploited by the sex industry, young offenders, individuals with a substance addiction and offenders with mental ill-health.
Our goal is to enable the people we support to contribute positively to society. We use a flexible, tailored approach to ensure that individuals receive relevant, carefully targeted specialist support, skills and training that will enable our participants to transform their lives - breaking the cycle of reoffending.
We are looking for a dynamic and capable leader that is committed to making the optimum positive impact possible, by supporting and driving the progress of our transforming lives agenda.
