Enhanced Reconnect is an innovative service supporting people in contact with the criminal justice system, recognising that offending is often linked to unmet health and social needs. The service empowers individuals to successfully reconnect with their communities after release, ensuring they can access the right support at the right time.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual with lived experience of the Criminal Justice System or prison custody to make a real and lasting difference. In this role, you will use your personal journey to inspire and support others who are facing similar challenges, helping them build confidence, develop a positive identity beyond the justice system, and take meaningful steps toward recovery.
Based at Carlisle Police Station (Durranhill) and working across Cumbria, you will deliver impactful peer support and practical assistance as part of a welcoming and dedicated NHS team. You will build trusting relationships, encourage individuals to engage with services, and walk alongside them as they begin to reclaim control over their lives.
No formal support experience is required as full training will be provided. Your passion, empathy and commitment to using your lived experience to help others are what matter most. Ability to travel independently across Cumbria is essential.
