Business Support Administrator

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic experienced Business Support Administrator within the Criminal Justice Liaison & Diversion (L&D) team, which forms part of the Integrated Non-Custodial Service (IN-CS)

People facing a wide range of vulnerabilities, including substance misuse, homelessness, social challenges, learning disabilities and mental health needs are supported by the team. The service further serves as a referral point and offers proactive follow-up to ensure service users can access and are supported in attending treatment and rehabilitation appointments. Our overarching goal is to enhance health and well-being, reduce vulnerability and lower the risk of re-offending.

The team is based in Exeter and offers flexible hybrid working arrangements based on business requirements
