Job description

Are you an able Administrator with a heart to see positive change in the lives of people who are trying to make a new start in the community after prison? Do you have good all-round IT and communication skills, and enjoy working in a team?

South West Community Chaplaincy (SWCC) aims to provide effective care and community support for people as they leave prison and re-integrate back into their local area, within the counties of Devon, Cornwall and western Somerset. This incudes mentoring, practical support and signposting to assist the integration of ex-prisoners into their communities, in collaboration with other professionals.

We are seeking a part-time Project Support Administrator (up to 15 hours per week). The post-holder will be based at our Exeter office, although there is some scope for partial homeworking, subject to agreement.

We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, with previous administrative experience and good IT skills (Microsoft Word, Excel Outlook etc.), including a sound grasp of data entry (Microsoft Azure, Teams). Excellent interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to be an effective communicator, conveying information efficiently in writing, face-to-face and by phone.

The post-holder will have a pastoral heart and concern for the wellbeing of people, will be in sympathy with the faith ethos and values of the charity, and be able to promote an inclusive environment where people of all faiths, and people of none, can work together for the transformation of lives and communities.
