What we’re looking for

If you have experience working with vulnerable people, particularly within the criminal justice system, and can manage challenging behaviour with confidence and compassion, we want to hear from you. Strong communication skills and a team-player mentality are essential.

Why join us?

At Strides, we’re committed to creating safe spaces that help people and communities move forward. You’ll be part of a dedicated team making a real difference.
