Head of Practice, Quality & Development Who we are One Small Thing was founded in 2014 by prison philanthropist Lady Edwina Grosvenor, in response to the unacceptable levels of suicide, self-harm and violence within women's prisons in England, with the aim of achieving wholesale system change across the justice system, one small thing at a time. Our name reflects the value of those small things - empathy, compassion, respect - and their combined power to make a big difference to the individual - and to society as a whole. Hope Street is an exciting, brand-new, purpose-built residential community-based service, designed in collaboration with women, for justice-involved women and their children in Hampshire. Trauma-informed by design, it offers a safe and supportive environment where women and their children can access education, practical and therapeutic support and activities that build confidence, self-esteem and skills, and provide the opportunity to build a fulfilling and happy life and play a meaningful role within society.

Your professional credibility and operational expertise will support meaningful change and reinforce strong partnerships across the wider justice landscape. This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
