Inclusive Employment: Creating Opportunity with Leicester Employment Hub

Offering someone a second chance can make a meaningful difference — for individuals, families, and workplaces alike.

Many employers who recruit people with lived experience of the justice system find it brings positive outcomes, such as:

• Reduced recruitment costs
• Help addressing skills shortages
• Improved attendance
• Stronger staff retention

With understanding and the right support, inclusive recruitment can help people rebuild their lives while adding real value to your organisation.

Inclusive recruitment is about recognising potential and providing fair support — not lowering standards.

Support for employers

Through our partnership with Leicester Employment Hub, we provide guidance, candidate matching, and ongoing support to ensure successful placements. This collaborative approach makes inclusive recruitment achievable and positive for everyone involved.

By working together, we help people rebuild their lives, strengthen local businesses, and contribute to safer, more resilient communities.
