Clinks supports, represents and advocates for the voluntary sector in criminal justice, enabling them to provide the best possible opportunities for individuals and their families. Our vision is of a vibrant, independent and resilient voluntary sector that enables people to transform their lives.
We have an exciting opportunity to join our highly respected policy team which works to keep our members informed about criminal justice policy and to ensure that the voluntary sector’s knowledge and expertise in rehabilitation and reducing reoffending is represented when policy decisions are made.
Key aspects of the role include: desk research to monitor government policy relating to criminal justice, producing policy updates and briefings, and undertaking consultation with our members and stakeholders and drafting reports. The post will support the development and operation of various policy focussed groups, networks and structures which Clinks facilitates.

Clinks works across a range of policy areas and the successful candidate will also be able to focus on and develop their own interests in these where appropriate. Therefore we are particularly interested in applications from individuals with experience or knowledge in one or more of the following areas: prison, probation, youth justice, people experiencing multiple needs, families affected by the criminal justice system, people with protected characteristics in the criminal justice system.

Clinks is an equal opportunities employer and individuals with direct experience of the criminal justice system and/or with protected characteristics are actively encouraged to apply
