We have an exciting opportunity to join our busy Health and Justice court pathway. Those in contact with the criminal justice system are far more likely to have unmet health and social care needs than the general population. The Health and Justice team offer multi-vulnerability assessments of those going through the criminal justice system in order to meet unmet needs and ensure that those who make decisions on the criminal justice pathway have enough information to make informed decisions. We are looking for a motivated, organised and dynamic person to join our court pathway.

Job responsibilities
