"The main thing that would stop me reoffending is someone taking an interest in me on the outside, someone to hold my hand"

Welcome to our website

Working Chance is a charity with a fresh approach to helping women offenders find rewarding, quality jobs. We offer a professional, first-class, bespoke employment service.

We treat each client as an individual and each employer as a unique organisation, thus ensuring successful matches and outcomes for all.
As well as finding our clients paid work, we also offer quality voluntary placements as stepping stones to paid employment and a career. This approach has proved highly effective, with the vast majority of our clients moving on to paid work once they have regained their confidence and life skills.
