Do you have experience in working with people with disability? Would you like to join a team of skilled and creative professionals supporting people living with #braininjury? We are looking for a Day Service Co-ordinator to join our team & support our members in our centre in Haggerston. 👇

A white writing on green background at the top of the image reads: “Join our team!” and at the bottom it reads: “Day Service Co-ordinator". In the middle there is an image of our member Donovan at Hoxton market. Donovan is a Black man, and he has got a short beard. He is wearing a white cap, a white T-shirt and an apron. He is holding a try with salt fish plantains covered with a vegetarian sauce. Behind him we can see other Headway staff and members behind a wooden table in the Headway stall.

In Your Defence seeks to explain what criminal defence solicitors actually do. How can you defend someone you know to be guilty? Doesn’t the right of silence only protect the guilty? Don’t you just get people off on a technicality? These are some of the questions addressed. amzn.eu/d/inbMvlz
