The SOVA Thames Valley Project requires an Administrative Support Officer to share in day-to-day volunteer, client and probation responsibilities and duties. The SOVA Thames Valley Project is a new scheme tailored to the areas of offending-related needs as identified in the 7 Pathways of the NOMS national reducing reoffending plan (Accommodation, ETE, Health, Substances, Families, and Behaviours). The primary aim of the Project is to enhance offender rehabilitation, while reducing re-offending, through various methods of volunteer mentoring.

The post holder will work closely alongside project staff and sectors of the Thames Valley Probation Trust. Applicants should have an understanding of the issues facing socially excluded groups, as well as some experience of working with volunteers and vulnerable groups. In addition, comprehensive IT skills and time management skills are essential to this role. Previous administrative experience is absolutely essential.
