Diversity, Inclusion and Safeguarding:

EPIC Restart Foundation is committed to creating an inclusive culture. We understand the importance of incorporating all aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do.  We aspire to increase the diversity of our team, and we encourage candidates with a range of work and life experiences to apply, in particular, people from ethnic minority groups, who are underrepresented in our organisation. 

We believe everyone should feel safe in their working environment and be supported to achieve their potential. This role will require an Enhanced DBS check and be subject to satisfactory references and online checks, but experience with the CJS is not an automatic barrier to joining our team.

Closing date: 9am Monday 15th of September 2025

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed online. 

Due to a high volume of applicants, we are unable to respond to everyone. We will get in touch if you are shortlisted – thank you for your interest.
