The Timpson Foundation was set up by Timpson CEO James Timpson to rehabilitate prison leavers with supported employment. So much so that over 10% of its workforce is now made up of prison leavers. They have a strong belief for giving people a second chance. The risk-assessment and interview process includes a full disclosure and existing colleagues have embraced the work culture that the team has created. Darren tells presenter Dominic Laurie about the process and how throwing this lifeline means recruiting a workforce of hardworking, honest, loyal employees.
This week is the second edition of virtual jobs fair NorthWestWorks4U – a unique public private partnership between TalkTalk, McCann Health and JobCentrePlus. This year’s event has a special focus on supporting prison leavers and with support from New Futures Network.
