Staff & Volunteers: Vision Housing continues to provide work placements for volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds, with an emphasis on providing opportunities to ex-offenders. Vision Housing also continues to emphasise employing ex-offenders (usually service users) in full time salaried positions Within the organisation, providing a more nuanced understanding and comprehensive service of support to recently released clients than would be possible otherwise.
