Census Life

Census Life is a not-for-profit social enterprise, part of Queen’s Award winner Census Group. With over 11 million people in the UK having a previous conviction, we recognise that this represents a huge talent pool of people that our business, and others, can directly benefit from. Our entire ethos is to support people back into society through meaningful employment and to educate and influence other businesses, decision-makers and policymakers. Census Life provides opportunities designed to deliver sustainable, social and economic integration and are one of the largest employers of people in prisons across England and Wales. We have grown to currently employ circa 300 men and women across 13 prisons every day. The key to our success is providing people in custody with an authentic work environment with a guaranteed offer of employment on release. We lead by example with over 90% of our employees having a previous criminal conviction and we are uniquely positioned to highlight the benefits to other businesses. We partner with other organisations and businesses who have a similar ethos to our own, to open up opportunities for our colleagues prior to their release. These partnerships are key to scaling impact and getting results. Do you have job vacancies you cannot fill? Can we supply you with well-trained staff, ready to hit the ground running to meet your business needs? Take a look at our website and let’s start the conversation.
