Passionate about making a real difference? Want to help shape and grow a dynamic employment initiative that is reducing reoffending and changing lives by helping people who have served a sentence into work?
About us
Inside Job, is an Employment Consultancy with a difference. It was co-created by a serving prisoner, who is very much part of Our Team, and the Charity, Beating Time. Recognising the huge barriers people who have served a sentence face to re-entering the workplace, we realised a specialized service was needed. A service which collapses the space between Employers, who want to use their recruitment policies to achieve social impact, and people who are in prison. A service which understands those challenges and works collaboratively to remove them. Employment reduces reoffending by 50% - this is a job worth doing.
Inside Job is unique in 2 ways:

Support our Job Candidates to find work in the community on release from prison.

Building relationships with local Probation offices and staff, DWP/Local Authority initiatives and Police & Crime Commissioner/Violence Reduction Unit and any other official and/or relevant third sector/voluntary organisations to promote Inside Job and Beating Time to them with the aim of creating more referrals and opportunities for Candidates, creating stronger support networks for Candidates and Inside Job and to help embed Inside Job and Beating Time as a key part of the community.
Keeping up to date records with all relevant data on the Beating Time system to assist with monitoring the effectiveness of the programme, supporting funding applications, reporting to prisons and funders and to allow review and adaptation of the strategy.

The Food Chain exists to ensure people living with HIV in London can access the nutrition they need to get well, stay well and lead healthy, independent lives. We deliver meals, groceries and formula milk, run cookery and nutrition classes, and hold twice-weekly communal meals for some of the most vulnerable and isolated people living with HIV in London.
We are the only HIV Nutrition specialist charity in the UK: we exist at the intersection between HIV, food poverty and social isolation. Everyone accessing our services is referred by a health or social care professional who has identified that they are experiencing crisis. Each person receives a personalised Dietetic Assessment from one of our HIV Specialist Dietitians, designed specifically to meet their needs. By offering a tailored package of support, at the appropriate time, we help people to lead healthy, independent lives.
