The Bridge Project is a Bradford based charity with over 35 years’ experience delivering services and projects addressing a range of issues such as drug and alcohol use, risk taking behaviours, relationships, housing, physical/mental health, and employment. We work with individuals, families, partners, and communities to improve people’s lives in a sustainable way, empowering people experiencing multiple barriers to achieve positive change.
We’re pleased to share an exciting opportunity to become part of our well-established multiple needs navigation service, as one of three Navigators, supported by a Senior and the Service Manager, delivering support to people who are at risk of re-offending and are managed by Probation Services. The cohort of people have multiple needs and find it difficult to engage in services for a variety of reasons.
This trainee Navigator role aims to improve the lives and wellbeing of people with multiple needs who find it difficult to engage in services, as identified by the Probation Service, revolve in and out of services or are excluded from services. Navigators will work in an outreach capacity to help people who experience multiple needs (housing, drug and alcohol use, offending behaviour, mental health, and physical health) to access the services and the interventions that they need to build their resilience, gain confidence, and acquire the personal and social assets they need to meet their aspirations.
You will be working in a supportive team providing important and meaningful support to those who need it, while gaining knowledge and experience of working with clients in specialist services. You will be provided with training and development opportunities, mentoring and supervision sessions.
The traineeship will run for 12 months. There will be a salary uplift awarded at 6 months, if you successfully meet the agreed milestones and demonstrate competence at a satisfactory level. At the end of the traineeship, you will be expected to have reached a level of knowledge and experience to enable you to apply for other roles within The Bridge Project or other similar support services.
Bridge is a value driven organisation and we are looking for a trainee who can demonstrate our key behaviours such as working proactively, being client focussed and values and respects others. You will place individuals at the heart of your interactions, with the ability to build up a rapport and trust, with personal skills around warmth, compassion, empathy and resilience with a desire to help people and get things done. Often situations can sometimes be difficult and challenging so you will need to have a non-judgemental approach and strong professional boundaries.
It is essential that the successful candidate has a driving licence with access to a vehicle and business insurance in order to transport clients in connection with the role. 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).
Alongside a rewarding career, you’ll enjoy a benefits package designed to help you thrive:

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 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.

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.
