Are you a highly organised administrator looking for a role that really matters?
This is not your average admin job. You will be at the heart of an integrated, trauma-informed treatment service, contributing to meaningful change for people often at a turning point in their lives.
We are looking for a proactive and detail-driven Administrator to support our Substance Misuse Team (SMS) working within HMP Wormwood Scrubs. This is a fast-paced and rewarding role, helping deliver essential services to individuals in prison experiencing drug or alcohol issues.
Working as part of an experienced team, you will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of our services, from maintaining accurate data and coordinating programme attendance, to managing correspondence, liaising with prison departments, and supporting the wider team.
What you’ll do:
- Provide high-quality administrative and secretarial support to the SMS team.
- Maintain accurate data and records using Excel, C-Nomis, and internal systems.
- Liaise with key partners including prison departments and clinical teams.
- Coordinate programme invites, attendance logs and outcome reports.
- Support reporting for commissioners by collating key statistics and monitoring figures.
- Escort visitors, prepare meeting papers, and take minutes as required.
What we’re looking for:
- A confident administrator with excellent IT, organisational and communication skills.
- Someone with initiative who can manage competing priorities and tight deadlines.
- A strong team player who can build good relationships with colleagues and partner agencies.
- Familiarity with prison or health-based admin systems (e.g. C-Nomis, SystmOne) is desirable but not essential.
- A commitment to confidentiality, professionalism, and ethical standards in a sensitive environment.
- Someone willing to undergo security vetting and work within a prison setting.
If this sounds like the role for you, take a look at the JD and apply today!
This role is subject to both an enhanced DBS check and Prison Security Vetting, which can take several weeks.
This role is based on site as part of an administrative team across the London region which includes services at Heathrow IRC, HMP Brixton and HMP Wormwood Scrubs. Whilst this role will be based at one of these sites there may be travel required to support other sites where the need arises.
