Criminology Graduate

Would you like to work for an award-winning charity known for being a great place to work? (Best Companies / Investors in People).

They've launched a new service supporting ex-offenders in the community, helping them rebuild their lives. It's a fantastic approach to rehabilitation, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. For example, there are wellness rooms, a gym, a music studio, pool tables, and even doughnuts and news debates on Wednesdays. It's the kind of place where you could spend an afternoon with a book.

A typical day in this role involves:

1. Welcoming participants as they arrive, ensuring all safety checks are completed to keep everything running smoothly.
2. Managing bookings and referrals through email, phone, or self-referrals.
3. Handling petty cash for travel expenses or small purchases, ensuring everything is accounted for.
4. Gathering feedback from participants through surveys or follow-ups to ensure their needs are met.
5. Monitoring CCTV and controlling access to restricted areas, ensuring everything stays secure.
6. Ordering supplies, like stationery or refreshments, to keep the Hub well-stocked.
7. Helping ensure the Hub complies with Health and Safety and other guidelines by checking equipment and making sure things like fire extinguishers and first aid kits are in place.
