Overview

We are looking for a Data Administrator. This is an exciting new opportunity to join our team.

We are The Forward Trust, a social enterprise with charitable status that empowers people to break the often interlinked cycles of crime and addiction to move forward with their lives.

Our services have supported thousands of people to make positive changes and build productive lives with a job, family, friends, and a sense of community.

RECONNECT aims to address the health inequalities experienced by those released from prison. The service starts working with people before they leave prison and continues with this work post-release when in the community. Our clients have access to a RECONNECT worker who helps them to make the transition to community-based services that will provide the health and care support that they need. The RECONNECT service was first announced in the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) and is the biggest new investment in Health and Justice services for the past six years.
