Community Projects

Simpson Dean works with progressive companies to provide candidates from open prisons. Ex-offenders are prepared to go the ‘extra mile’ and are very loyal workers. Providing work to ex-offenders has proven to help lower reoffending rates by almost 60%.

By providing community projects such as sourcing ex-offenders for work, Simpson Dean Recruitment believes they’re providing a better future for the local community.

We know ex-offenders are prepared to go the ‘extra mile’ and are loyal, reliable workers. We believe by raising the bar, means other employees work harder as a result; a point made by many employers currently using this initiative.

In open conditions, candidates are fully risk assessed. They know how to disclose effectively, and an employer will be able to make a much more informed decision about a potential employee than would normally be the case.

Many prisons can train and educate candidates within a variety of industries and have successful training programs already in place within certain sectors, e.g. construction, industrial and agricultural sectors. Training within your industry can also be offered.

Simpson Dean Recruitment believes by giving candidates the opportunity to gain temporary or contract work gives them more chance of gaining a permanent position when they come out of prison.

We know that with support from the community and a stable job, the reoffending rate drops dramatically from 73% to 16%.

Once a candidate has completed and succeeded in their role, Simpson Dean Recruitment provides personal written references. These references are important for candidates to gain further employment once they leave prison.

How much does the service cost?

We look at how you engage with your current agencies supplying your staff and work out a deal that fits around your current spending. For example, we can either charge you a temporary hourly rate, daily or weekly rate. This can be paid as PAYE or contractor depending on how you would like us to do this.

Simpson Dean Recruitment supply you with staff who are hard-working, communicative, and dedicated to making a good impression; the prison service takes less of our tax payer’s money for the upkeep of the prison and, finally, the prisoners gain a rewarding and, hopefully, self-affirming opportunity to start afresh and ensure they don’t re-offend once they are released.
