Description
Company Description
Catch22 exists to build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose—our '3Ps'. We achieve this in two key ways: delivering frontline public services and using our expertise to transform the system that can disempower those it was designed to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, Catch22 is uniquely positioned to tackle this challenge.
In our Justice Hub, we support young people and adults in custody and in the community. Our services range from offender management and resettlement to mentoring, youth justice, and victim support. We believe in providing the right interventions and support to help individuals desist from crime and achieve their true potential. We take pride in developing our staff, with 73% of our management team having progressed from frontline roles within the organisation.
