· Take a lead role in integrating criminogenic assessment findings into individualized treatment and service plans, ensuring interventions address identified risks and needs while remaining responsive to the individual’s strengths, abilities, culture, preferences, and stage of recovery.

· Collaborate with individuals to identify practical strategies for reducing behaviors and circumstances that may contribute to arrest, incarceration, community disruption, or re-offending.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
