About Nacro
We believe that for people who end up in prison, it should be the start of somewhere better – not a road to nowhere. We don’t just talk about positive social change at Nacro. We do it every day: challenging unfairness, breaking down barriers, and giving some of the most vulnerable people the best chance at a second chance.

What do our Accommodation Advisors do?
Working in partnership with the Prison and Probation Service, you’ll work with a caseload of adult males in custody to provide advice and support relevant to their housing needs. You’ll carry out initial assessments to understand each person’s specific needs to agree a tailored action plan. This may include the provision of support to end or sustain a tenancy, find accommodation or basic budgeting advice and liaison with other agencies. You’ll provide support face to face with individuals and groups.
