Job Details
Switchback Mentor
Are you passionate about working directly with people from marginalised communities on a 1-to-1 basis? Would you relish the chance to build relationships with young prison-leavers as part of an award-winning small charity in East London?
Switchback Mentors go into prisons to directly engage young men and continue that intensive support after release in the community. This is a unique opportunity to build positive, motivational relationships with a small caseload of young prison-leavers through-the-gate, enabling each Trainee to build a stable, rewarding life. You will receive sector-leading training, professional development and supervision from a cutting-edge resettlement charity recognised by the Longford Prize as a 'beacon of hope at a time of chaos'.
If you are someone with experience of working directly with people with complex needs and looking for a unique opportunity to work in a truly person-centred way (no tick-boxes here!), we want to hear from you.

Communications Officer and Content Creator
Are you passionate about using communications to make a big difference? Would you relish the chance to work with young prison-leavers to create content for a small, impactful organisation rooted in East London? Then join Switchback as our Comms Officer & Content Creator and you could soon be accelerating our profile as a leading resettlement charity and driving change for prison-leavers across the justice system.
We’re looking for a creative self-starter with brilliant writing skills keen to get stuck into all aspect of comms at a dynamic charity delivering big impact in London. This is not your average comms role stuck in a head office – you will be closely connected to Switchback’s transformative frontline work with some of London’s most marginalised young people.
If you love social media and can create high quality written content for different audiences, we’d like to hear from you!
