Providing Opportunities for Ex-Offenders

We’re here to help you make a new start.

Supporting people who want to change their lives

Having a criminal conviction makes it almost impossible to find a job, but by contacting us, the impossible becomes possible. We’re passionate about helping ex-offenders to change their path and enter into employment, and our prison experience has shown us just how hard this currently is. Our model is designed to rehabilitate prisoners into a productive working environment that they can excel in.

What does our support look like?

Our tried and trusted support includes a personal caseworker and mentor to help you find employment, and continues every day for your first 12 months in work. We can also accompany you to your interview for added support.

Our service users have a 98% success rate due to the support we offer and the existing relationships we have with our corporate partners.

The roles offered by our partners include logistics, construction, engineering, catering, textiles, cleaning and more.

Over the years, many of the ex-offenders we have worked with have been so grateful to their employer for the opportunity, that they’ve turned out to be the most loyal and hardworking of all. They’ve turned their lives around and are a credit to their families. There’s been no stopping them. Now it’s your turn.

How do you get started?

To start you on your journey to employment, we recommend getting the below ready so that the process can be as efficient as possible:

  • Bank account

  • Personal identification of either birth certificate or driving license

  • National Insurance Number

  • CV (preferred)

Meet Simon.

We started Tempus Novo for the very reason of being able to support people who want to change their lives for the better. People like Simon.

Simon has turned his life around as a result of employment, and we're on a mission to help as many people in Simon's position as possible!

  • "Back in 2014 when I was at a low point, I met two inspirational men in Steve and Val, it was my first ever time in prison for something that was stupid. The day I met these two pillars my life seemed to feel like I wasn’t a loser. They helped me back into employment with a job that was all me but was a starting point for me as I knew it would be impossible to get employment with a criminal record. Now 8 years on I’m self employed earning money I never thought I would. I owe Steve and Val everything, these two men deserve a medal."

  • "I get emotional when I think about the impact Tempus Novo has had on me, I never thought that I would work for a living. I love my job, my children and grandchildren can be proud of me. My neighbours know I’ve got a job, I no longer walk out of my door hanging my head in shame."

    Simon Wallage, 25 years in and out of prison
