If you enjoy bringing information together, keeping records in order and working with different teams, this is a chance to put those skills to work in a prison setting, with a regular weekday morning schedule.
As a Business Administrator at HMP Peterborough, you’ll support managers and frontline colleagues by collecting and checking information, keeping records up to date and making sure the right people have what they need.

- Use Excel to maintain spreadsheets and trackers and pull together information for reports.
- Manage and prioritise emails in Outlook, responding to queries and directing requests to the right person or department.
- Keep databases, records and filing systems up to date, handling sensitive information with discretion.
- Prepare paperwork for managers and support meetings by taking minutes and sharing actions when needed.
What you’ll bring
- Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Outlook. You’ll be comfortable updating spreadsheets, organising data and managing emails.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to liaise with colleagues across different departments.
- Great organisational skills and the ability to prioritise competing requests and meet deadlines.
- A good eye for detail and a reliable, professional approach to handling confidential information.
