About the job

Make Time Count is a UK based social enterprise with a purpose to eradicate reoffending using technology. We were founded in 2020 with a mission to digitally empower all parts of the justice ecosystem to collaborate and support vulnerable people in a whole new way.

We have created a digital solution which, amongst other functions, fully automates the management of the new Out of Court Disposals framework as outlined in the recent Police, Crime, Sentencing and Court Act 2022. Our platform will help police officers on the front line better manage offenders and support victims without using court as the default route. By connecting police forces and offenders with the relevant support agencies within an easy to use app, we can reduce reoffending, save time,money and resources, and create positive outcomes for all society. We also work to improve the experience of justice for victims and deliver a victim case management system including support app for victims.
