World Day of Social Justice: Breaking the cycle of cell, street, repeat

By Natalie Quince, Client Delivery Manager

​To mark World Day of Social Justice, Guidant Global speaks with Nacro, a social justice charity that we’ve been working in partnership with since 2012 who are committed to changing lives, building communities and reducing crime.

​

World Day of Social Justice has never been more important
In light of COVID-19, while many schools and businesses have been able to provide individuals with flexible arrangements, there are countless others who have instead been exposed to the risks and disadvantages of the pandemic.

This is especially true for those from lower income backgrounds, minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities and ex-offenders –who need support now more than ever before.

At Guidant Global, we know there is a better way
We’re committed to levelling the playing field by helping those at a disadvantage gain the right skills and support their needs. Our partnership with Nacro has helped us do just that. While some organisations talk about making a difference, the people at Nacro do it every single day.

While it takes vision and commitment, it also takes people who are passionate about helping disadvantaged young people and adults to turn their lives around. To attract and develop people in this sector, Nacro has created a special career environment – one designed to bring out the best in everyone who works there.

For 2021’s World Day of Social Justice, we want to shine the light on Nacro and acknowledge the life-changing work they’ve done and will continue to do.

The team at Nacro says:
“Nacro is a national social justice charity with more than 50 years’ experience of changing lives, building stronger communities and reducing crime. We house, we educate, we support, we advise, and we speak out for and with disadvantaged young people and adults. We are passionate about changing lives.

Our success is dependent upon a strong network of committed individuals who deliver our services daily through delivering social justice by positively changing lives, strengthening communities and preventing crime. Our workforce is essential to deliver this and having a strong partnership with a temporary managed service provider is key to the delivery of our 24/7 operations.

Guidant Global has provided us with a true extension to our existing recruitment team. They take the time to engage with line managers and adopt a bespoke approach to recruitment that allows flexibility in the ever-changing environment needed to tackle social injustice.

The excellent service they provide by sourcing the best candidates in the market in a seamless manner ensures that together, Nacro achieves its goal by enriching lives and breaks the cycle of cell, street, repeat.”

​Behind the team are a group of people who truly care
Throughout our 9-year partnership with Nacro, not only have they been collaborative, but they truly care about the partnership that has been established, and the goals that we have achieved together.

The want to master and innovate together is a driving force behind everything Nacro does, and it shows in their determination towards positively changing lives, breaking cycles and building stronger communities.

We are very proud to call them our client.
