  Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.
We achieve this in two ways: we improve lives through frontline delivery of public services, and we use our knowledge to change 'the system' by fixing the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda. In Justice, we work with young people and adults in custody and in the community, providing a range of services including offender management, mentoring, victim services, gangs work and youth justice. We believe that with effective support mechanisms and the correct interventions, we can change service users' ideology, helping them desist from crime and reach their true potential., Catch22's Commitment to Ban the Box Catch22 is proud to have "Banned the Box". This means that we do not ask for candidates to disclose criminal convictions at the application stage. Instead, we invite disclosures at interview stage, and encourage them at the offer stage. Please see the opportunitiy's Information Pack for more information. See the benefits of working for Catch22 .
