We offer a day programme of therapy, education and community work to young people who are referred to the service through Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service and Children's Services.

We are now looking for a motivated and organised Administration Co-ordinator to join our multi-agency team and help provide comprehensive, high-quality administrative support.

About the role

In this role you will provide administrative support to approximately 20 members of staff from Social Workers and teachers to art therapists and dieticians! This will include data management, minute taking and the use of procurement and financial systems. A key aspect of this role will be organising the reception and managing the transport arrangements for young people coming into the day programme. You will be part of a multi-professional team who are dedicated to working with young people with complex needs.

You will also be working with young people from diverse back grounds who have been referred to HOPE to support with their mental health, social, behavioural and emotional needs. Working with young people who may display challenging behaviour requires a unique skill set. Your confidence in dealing with conflict appropriately, and knowing when to seek support, will be essential.

The nature of the work we do means that prioritising tasks can be challenging given the constantly changing needs of our young people and the administration required to support their progress at HOPE and plan for their future needs. As such, a flexible approach to the role will be required!

HOPE is not your average office environment and can at times feel pressurised, but you will always have the support of your team behind you and excellent management in place to support you when you need it.

To be considered for shortlisting for this position your application will clearly evidence:

  • Outstanding administrative skills
  • Excellent IT skills
  • Ability to accurately collect data and input into reports/databases
  • Experience of working within a multi-agency team
  • An ability to be flexible and approachable
  • Experience of working with complex young people

The job advert closes at 23:59 on 4th December 2023 with interviews to follow.

An enhanced DBS 'Disclosure and Barring Service' check for regulated activity (formerly known as CRB) and the Children's and Adults' Barred List checks will be required for this role.
