About the Role
The Business Administrator will provide vital administrative support for the pathways team at HMP Wandsworth, assisting in reducing reoffending by prisoners through the provision of opportunities from reception to release. This is a rotational, non-operational role with no line management responsibilities. Key duties include processing transactional paperwork related to the Activity Hub such as student applications, resettlement pathway contracts, procurement, regime monitoring, education provision, prisoner pay, and more. The role also involves promoting unit activities by helping to arrange and contribute to job clubs, exit interviews, housing clinics, and induction assessments. Additional responsibilities include organising and maintaining accurate records, acting as a communication contact point, completing monitoring returns, processing finance requisitions, coordinating awareness sessions, preparing paperwork for managerial checks, corresponding with stakeholders, maintaining databases and filing systems, collating service delivery information, and acting as secretary for meetings including agenda preparation and minute taking. The role requires flexibility to undertake reasonable additional tasks as needed and the ability to communicate confidently in English.

Experience
Experience in administrative roles is beneficial but not explicitly required. Ability to manage multiple administrative tasks efficiently is essential.

About you
You should be organised, detail-oriented, and able to prioritise communications effectively. Strong interpersonal skills are important to liaise with various stakeholders and support prisoners’ pathways. You must be confident in spoken English and able to work collaboratively within a team environment. A commitment to supporting the goals of reducing reoffending and promoting inclusion is essential.

Qualifications
Specific qualifications are not stated; however, proficiency in administrative processes and IT systems is expected. A willingness to learn and adapt to the role’s requirements is important.
