Database Update and Refinement
We are looking for a skilled and experienced volunteer to assist with updating and refining our MS Access database, originally designed 10 years ago. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a passion for technology and making a difference in a meaningful cause.

What You'll Do:

  • Revamp the Database: Dive into the existing MS Access database, identify outdated or redundant components, and help transform it into a more efficient, streamlined tool!
  • Collaborate and Innovate: Work with the manager to understand the evolving data needs, and bring fresh ideas to improve our data management system.
  • Modernize the System: Update and modify database tables, queries, and forms to ensure they align with our current processes and make everything run smoother.
  • Enhance User Experience: Focus on improving the interface to make the database easier and more intuitive to use while maintaining data accuracy and integrity.
  • Empower the Team: Provide clear, user-friendly documentation or guidance so staff can confidently navigate and make the most of the upgraded database.

Recognition & Future Opportunities:
On completion of the Project, we will be happy to:

  • Provide a written reference, outlining the tasks undertaken and speaking to the volunteer’s character.
  • Act as a professional reference (upon request).

If this is an opportunity that interests you, please APPLY NOW!

Requirements:
  • Experience working with MS Access, including database design and management.
  • Ability to review and optimise an existing database structure.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Good communication skills to liaise with the manager and understand operational needs.
  • Experience with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is desirable but not essential.

A Ministry of Justice background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:
  • Weekly In-Person Check-In with Manager to discuss requirements.
  • Most of the development work can be done remotely.

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
