The postholder will manage phone calls and web enquiries through to successful conclusions via our Head of Counselling and their team of over fifty counsellors, creating and maintaining client records with Charitylog – a client records management system.

They will be the key source of information and support for this team of counsellors, who all work remotely currently across greater Cambridgeshire, Northants, and Peterborough areas, making sure they have all necessary support and information for their roles.

Our administrator will also organise and manage all other corporate information for the Trustee Board, the CEO, and their leadership team plus our volunteer staff – building an effective ‘memory’ for Evolve and helping us to grow and support more people.

More than a conduit for enquiries, the successful applicant will be initiative-taking and self-directing, taking immediate action and ownership of their tasks and ensuring 100% completion. A high degree of professionalism, and a regard for boundaries and confidentially are essentials, as is resilience for a sometimes-challenging role at a time of change and growth in Evolve. Strong abilities in the use of IT and especially records management systems are vital for this post.

Please refer to the attached Job Description & Person Specification for full details of this role. We are wanting to make an appointment very soon and will review applications (CV plus covering letter addressed to the CEO) as they come in. Interviews will be via Teams, in two stages.

ODAC continues to be on a journey of organisational change and growth, with the financial implications that come with that, having begun to diversify our business model to expand our programmes.

This is the first Finance Manager role in the organisation and the role will involve using your knowledge and experience to develop the way that ODAC works.
