The Recruitment Junction is an award-winning recruitment charity, placing people with convictions into sustainable paid work. We see people rediscover a sense of purpose through finding fulfilling work where they can add real value, becoming role models who drive positive generational impact across their families.
We deliver on skills shortages across the north east, we push back on regional unemployment and we contribute to a national reduction in reoffending.
We identify suitable candidates…
- We meet everyone in person, building trust and confirming ‘work-readiness’ (drug free, in accommodation)
- We update CVs and renew qualifications and industry tickets
- We coach on disclosing past convictions clearly and in full
