Sameer is the National Health and Justice Lead for Career Matters, a social enterprise which exists to improve access to education, employment, and training for all. Sameer works across multiple projects across the health and justice system including within the secure and detained estate delivering education, mentoring employment programmes. Sameer has worked in the health and justice space for many years in a variety of different roles.
