Elizabeth Fry Charity runs a Ministry of Justice Approved Premises in Reading, accommodating up to 24 women. We strive to be an excellent provider of accommodation and support for women in the criminal justice system.

We are currently seeking an Outreach Worker to join our dedicated team. We recognise that the transition from the Approved Premises to community living can be a difficult time for our residents. As Outreach Worker, you will support residents remaining in the Reading area, both prior to their move on and for up to six months post move on. The aim is to support them living independently, with practical matters and signposting to additional support services within the community.

This is a part time post, working 20 hours a week. The proposed working pattern is Monday – Friday, 1pm – 5pm, but we can consider alternative working arrangements.

Essential Skills and Experience:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with strong attention to detail.
• Confidence using IT systems, particularly Microsoft Excel and Word.
• Effective time management and organisational skills.
• A commitment to the values and mission of Elizabeth Fry Charity.
