Sustainable Employment

Together, we’re leading a new era in business.

Why should you work with Tempus Novo?

  • We are an award-winning organisation with an award-winning rehabilitation model. Not only is Tempus Novo recognised by the Centre for Social Justice as best in category for Justice in the UK, 2019, but we have won multiple awards, including the HMPPS Partnership award from HMP SpringHill, Halifax Courier community spirit award and the Corbett Founders Award.

  • We have become a trusted partner of many international businesses. We partner with businesses whose values align with our own when it comes to caring for other people. Together, we are a league of game changers!

  • Trusted by employers since 2014, including ongoing partnerships with GXO, A.P Moller Maersk, Finsbury Foods, Culina and more.

  • Companies that integrate sustainability into their core strategy at the highest level will be better placed to reap long term value for the benefit of shareholders and society alike.

    Employing ex-offenders is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to E.S.G (Environment, Social and Governance).

  • Benefit from a bespoke service to fit your business needs.

  • Receive 12 months support for you and your employee, uniquely offered by our passionate caseworkers. Our level of support has proven valuable to the success of so many employee and employer partnerships facilitated through us.

  • We achieve a retention rate of over 95% under our ROTL model, and over 65% under our community model.

  • We are thorough in matching the right ex-offender with the right employer.

  • Benefit from hard-working and loyal employees. Employment is the first chance given to many of our service-users, who are hungry for change and want to grab the opportunity with both hands.

  • As part of our ROTL model, should an employee become unable to stay with the employer on release due to the location of family, we will replace the employee with another suitable ex-offender candidate.

  • Our latest figures show that 1 in 5 of the candidates we place into employment go on to be promoted. This is testament to the stringent care and processes in place to ensure we place the right people into the right jobs, with the right company.

Companies that practice conscious capitalism perform 10x better in the long run than those that don’t because it facilitates personal growth and is a source of fulfilment. Conscious businesses have higher purposes that serve, align and integrate the interests of all major stakeholders.

They cultivate authentic, caring cultures that create enduring values because happy workers are productive workers.

Meet some of our employers.

Since 2014, we have paired employers with ex-offenders who have passed our unique risk assessment, which includes detailed information on their past offences. This level of scrutiny offers full transparency to our corporate partners and allows them to review all details before making a commitment. In fact, you will learn more about our candidates than you know about your existing workforce.

Everything is closely managed, with each ex-offender and employer having a personal caseworker and mentor to help them through the employment process. Our support continues on a day-to-day basis for the first 12 months of employment.

We do not work with sex offenders, terrorists, arsonists and murderers as we place a big emphasis on safeguarding and protecting your company’s good reputation.

  • "Finsbury Food Group formed a partnership with Tempus Novo in 2021 and this has only gone from strength to strength! Steve, Val and the team at Tempus Novo are incredibly passionate about sourcing employment to support both ex and current offenders, providing a second chance and a fresh start. We have so far employed a small number of Tempus Novo candidates and we are continuously looking for ways to grow our partnership across the group. The feedback internally has been fantastic; all employees are hardworking, committed and dedicated. I would not hesitate to recommend Tempus Novo; the support you receive is second to none with an emphasis on sustainability. The TN model is genuinely making a difference to individual lives and wider society. We are proud to be partnered with such an incredible organisation."

    Hayley Potts, HR Manager at Finsbury Foods

  • "We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Team Tempus Novo who were the inspiration for our Fresh Start programme. It is incredible to think that, in 4 short years, we have successfully recruited 260 people through the Tempus Novo programme – that means we (Clipper and Tempus Novo) have changed the lives of 260 people plus their families. The social value of this enterprise is phenomenal. We look forward to recruiting the next 260 people through this programme."

    Richard Cowlishaw, Chief People Officer at GXO

  • "I am immensely proud of the work that Steve, Val and the team at Tempus Novo do. Tempus Novo have helped to transform our Corporate Social Responsibility programme: Fresh Start which has now seen c.1400 people from a variety of backgrounds come through this programme. From an ESG perspective, our relationship with Tempus Novo has significantly enhanced Clipper’s profile with investors and shareholders who have paid tribute to the amazing work that is being achieved by our Fresh Start programme and especially with the recruitment of ex-offenders and ROTL prisoners.”
