ABOUT FIRST KICK FOUNDATION

First Kick Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation committed to improving physical and mental wellbeing through accessible sport, health, and enrichment programmes. We work with children, young people, and families across Preston and the wider North West — delivering school-based sport, HAF holiday provision, and targeted community initiatives that create real impact.
As we continue to grow, we are seeking an organised, driven, and community-focused Community Integration Officer, to lead the effective, impactful and sustainable delivery of First Kick Foundation’s community rehabilitation offer, which supports adults engaged in the criminal justice system to sustainably develop the confidence and skills to realise and achieve their potential.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Community Integration Officer will play a vital role in supporting service users identified by probation and Integrated Offender Management (IOM) officers. You will work with individuals pre- and post-release from custody, providing tailored one-to-one mentoring, advocacy, and practical support.
Your focus will be on stabilisation, personal development, and sustainable reintegration — helping participants overcome barriers linked to housing, health, finance, and social relationships while supporting them to build confidence, skills, and positive pathways.
This is a challenging but highly rewarding role for someone passionate about rehabilitation, community safety, and social justice.
