Shannon Trust is a charity that transforms lives by supporting disadvantaged people to learn to read. We believe nobody should be left out of learning. We operate in all prisons across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We also work with a number of partner organisations in the community, supporting their service users to learn to read.
Over 50% of people in prison, and 16% in the community, have a literacy level below that of an 11 year old. Many cannot read at all. This means they have reduced access to education, training and rehabilitation programmes which could transform their lives, and give them hope for a better future outside of the criminal justice system.
Many of our employees work remotely, with colleagues currently based in all parts of the country, from the North East to the South West and all points in between. We’ve always supported home working, so you can be assured we know how to make you feel welcome and part of the team. We also have prison based colleagues who do a fantastic job of growing our programmes in their prisons. We arrange in person meetings twice a year as a full staff team.
Our family friendly employee benefits includes flexible working, a generous holiday allowance, Employee Assistance Programme and employee discount scheme.
