Description

Are you passionate about helping young people to overcome challenges in their lives via counselling and support?

Do you have administrative skills or experience working in a health and social care team?

Would you like to co-ordinate, respond to and help develop and grow therapeutic services at Signpost - a charity dedicated to helping young people living in Hertfordshire?

Hours and location:
This is a part-time role permanent role working 20 hours per week, from 4pm to 8pm Monday - Friday. The salary is £12,261 per annum, equivalent to £11.79 per hour. You will be based in Watford (it is not a home-based role).

At Signpost we are committed to providing counselling, coaching and other support to help young people living in Hertfordshire overcome problems in their lives.

During the Covid pandemic, we ensured that we were able to continue to provide our counselling service online, preventing gaps in service delivery and even managing to expand our service offer further.

We are now a subsidiary charity of One YMCA, fully committed to the continued provision of counselling, coaching and other therapeutic support to help young people and their families.

We are recruiting a full time administrator to be the first point of contact for young people looking for mental health support and will enable the smooth running of our services.

This is a fulfilling and rewarding role, and you'll be a valued part of a small, friendly team. You will report to the Therapeutic Services Manager at Signpost and be part of a small friendly administrative team.

You will be supporting the day to day running of organisation and it's clinical and related services across the wider organisation of One YMCA.

You could think of this as the best of both worlds - the focus and team spirit of a small company, combined with the vibrant networks and varied teams of a much larger charity.

Please note:

You will need to feel confident in engaging with young people and their parent/carers which may include difficult conversations which may include distressing content.

It is essential to bring administrative experience, experience of working with CRM systems and competency in using Outlook, Word, Excel, and similar programs.

Though not essential it would be desirable to have administrative experience within a clinical or therapeutic setting.
