Women's Court Diversion Keyworker

Do you have a commitment to making a difference to women’s lives? Are you passionate about supporting women in a holistic, trauma-informed way to divert women away from the Criminal Justice System and to achieve long-term lasting change? The Nelson Trust's award-winning Women's Centres offer safe, women-only spaces where women can get support to address a wide range of needs. Our centres are located in Gloucestershire, Swindon, Bristol, Somerset, Cardiff, Swansea, and HMP Eastwood Park. We provide holistic, gender-specialist support to women facing multiple disadvantages, including those involved (or at risk of being involved) in the criminal justice system. As a Court Diversion Keyworker, you will work within our Bristol Women's Centre and Avon courts to divert women away from custody, providing a direct pathway to a wide range of well-established gender-responsive community support services, including the Nelson Trust Women Centres. You will develop and deliver the court service, ensuring that probation and sentencers are informed of each woman's circumstances leading to her offending, and offer alternative community solutions which address her needs.
