At Catch22, we are proud of our reputation as a modern and progressive employer. Our 1,300 colleagues and 300 volunteers work at every stage of the social welfare cycle, supporting over 60,000 individuals from cradle to career. Our work spans education, social justice and rehabilitation, children's social care, family support, social action and getting people into work.

In Justice, we work with young people and adults in custody and in the community, providing a range of services including offender management and resettlement, veterans in custody, victim services, gangs work and youth justice.

Commissioned by Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Nottinghamshire Victim CARE is a free and confidential service available to all victims of crime and anti-social behaviour across Nottinghamshire. The service supports Victims and survivors to be resilient and in doing so are less likely to be re-victimised; empowered to cope and recover from crime and anti-social behaviour by timely and effective victim-centred support from local services, families and communities.

As an Engagement Officer you will undertake the development and relationship management of all partners, statutory, third sector and voluntary organisations that can assist in the effective delivery of the service – specifically in relation to the Victim CARE Community Point programme.

This will be achieved by building on existing and new relationships with key stakeholders and delivery partners to expand the range and quality of provision for victims across our locale. 

It will be essential for you to collaborate with existing and new partners to identify organisations for support and work with them to deliver, monitor and evaluate any work undertaken as a result of the partnership.Engagement Officer JD and Person Specification
