Summary
About RJ4All
Restorative Justice for All (RJ4All) is a charitable, user-led international institute with a vision of a world that embraces the restorative justice values of power-sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect and where power abuse is rooted out. We pursue our vision by using the power of dialogue, education, sports, and art through the ethos of restorative justice.
The RJ4All Headquarters are in London at the RJ4All Rotherhithe Community Centre and we have a sister organisation based in Cyprus, “RJ4All Europe”.
Our mission centres on addressing power abuse, conflict, and poverty through the application of restorative justice values and practices. We advance equality, community cohesion, and human rights through multiple interconnected approaches. Our work encompasses delivering social justice and poverty relief projects, alongside educational programmes and youth clubs+ that foster understanding and growth. We facilitate intercultural dialogue initiatives and awareness-raising workshops while providing high-quality internships and volunteering opportunities that empower individuals to create positive change.

Qualifications & Prerequisites
At RJ4All, we take restorative justice case work seriously whether this involves a case within our outside the formal justice system. Membership to various registers or organisations is not considered by RJ4All as proof of experience.
We are seeking experienced restorative justice practitioners who can demonstrate their work and understanding of restorative justice.
