We support people with multiple disadvantages, including substance misuse & mental health, as well as those who find themselves in the criminal justice system. Our services enable the people we support to improve their health, wellbeing and employability.

This role is an integral part of our team, as you will work closely with other administration teams across the service to support the day-to-day needs of – not only our service and partners – but also our service users and their carers.
