About Community Led Initiatives

Community Led Initiatives are a lived experience organisation that believes in the capacity for human change. We support those who have been through the criminal justice system, have been affected by drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness or mental health issues. We help them to overcome the barriers preventing them from achieving their goals.

We inspire people to believe that change is possible. We seek, recruit and develop employees who personify change as they will have encountered and overcome many of the barriers which the people we support will face.

We provide one-to-one peer support and group work activities to help the people we work with to achieve their personal goals. In addition to addressing their practical and emotional needs we help them to develop a new positive sense of self. By the end of our mentoring relationship, the people we work with feel empowered to move their lives forward independently and build upon the successes achieved with us.

Many of the people we work with go on to volunteer here at CLI to help build their CV, develop skills, gain meaningful work and bring utility to their past. And we are proud to say that a significant number of CLI mentoring programme graduates go on to become long term ambassadors for change.

We work in partnership with other organisations that are striving to deliver positive impacts, support change, and share our commitment and values.

And we actively welcome those with lived experience of offending, addiction, homelessness, or mental health issues as part of our team. Where others see risk, we see opportunity.

We believe everyone deserves to feel values, to be happy, to belong.

The successful candidate will commit to working in line with our workplace values which are:

People first – people are our top priority. We care so everyone can be their best.
Community – our actions and support help build stronger communities where people can find their place and thrive.
Transformation – we do challenging work, creating positive change that helps people move on with their lives.
Excellence – we strive to always be our best, to exceed expectations, to learn from our mistakes.
Trust – we trust ourselves, our colleagues and those we work with to do the right thing, to show integrity, acceptance, respect and fairness in all we do.
