The Bridge Project is a long‑established charity in the heart of Bradford, dedicated to supporting people facing complex challenges such as substance use, homelessness, offending behaviours, and social disadvantage. We play a vital role in reducing inequalities by offering accessible, person-centred support, empowering individuals to overcome barriers and build healthier, more independent lives.
We are excited to share the launch of a newly established, trauma‑informed service, Bridge-Ways. Its main aim is to reduce prison recalls and improve resettlement outcomes for people leaving custody who present with multiple needs, sometimes described as complex needs. We are seeking a Navigator on a full-time basis to join the team.
The service works intensively with those at elevated risk of recall, especially individuals facing housing insecurity. Through early engagement before release, the Navigator will form meaningful connections with beneficiaries (via online meetings and possibly face to face meetings) to support beneficiaries to make informed decisions about their transition from prison. The goal is to prevent unnecessary recalls.
The Navigator will focus on the following key areas:
We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting individuals facing multiple and complex barriers as they transition from custody back into the community, with a strong commitment to trauma-informed practice. A deep understanding of the criminal justice system is important, and you will be motivated to drive positive change, believe in the capacity for meaningful transformation, and are committed to maintaining accurate digital records for evaluation and service development. As part of a newly established team, you will bring enthusiasm, resilience, and a collaborative spirit, ensuring a holistic, joined-up approach that supports people to build safer, healthier, and more independent lives.
It is essential that you have access to a reliable car, hold appropriate business car insurance, and be willing to use your car to transport people you support to appointments and meetings as needed, for which travelling expenses will be paid. This not only supports trust and inclusion but is essential for ensuring individuals can reach crucial services and supports in the community, particularly in situations where public transport may not be suitable or available. A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post (the results of which would not necessarily exclude applicants from consideration).
If you are passionate about what we do, we’d love to hear from you. Alongside a rewarding career, you’ll enjoy a benefits package designed to help you thrive:
The Bridge Project is proud to be a Mindful Employer, championing a workplace where wellbeing truly matters.

The Bradford RESET service, which stands for Recognising, Engaging and Supporting Everyone to Transform is an innovative service bringing a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/ or family relationships and for those with additional complex needs within our community. Bradford RESET is led by Bridge in partnership with Create Strength Group.
Bradford RESET uniquely combines two existing services focused on domestic abuse, delivered by Bridge, with an extensive new programme offer for individuals aged 16 and over who cause harm. This integration creates a vibrant opportunity for Bradford to tackle the underlying causes of domestic abuse by providing effective, therapeutic, and proactive support. We also recognise the importance of holistic family wellness and safety, offering therapeutic support for entire families affected by the behaviours of individuals involved in the programme.

This includes those with varying motivations to change, outstanding charges, ongoing criminal investigations, family court proceeding or re-offending during their involvement with the service. The Case Worker will be working within our trauma-informed model that addresses the root causes of domestic abuse, proactively engaging with resistance and compliance challenges through therapeutic individual and group work programmes. Each component not only focuses on behaviour change but also addresses broader health and wellbeing determinants. This service is committed to inclusive practices, believing that people’s wellbeing and safety are significantly improved when they are actively engaged in our programmes.
This is a part time vacancy for 33 hours per week on a 12-month fixed term contract, continuation is subject to funding/and an enhanced disclosure and barring check (the results of which would not necessarily exclude applicants from consideration).
