Are you flexible, looking for a challenge and a role where no two days are the same? Then this is the role for you!

We are seeking an experienced administrator to support Senior Leaders within our Children and Young People’s Service. Excellent customer care and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently or as part of a team.

The successful candidate will provide comprehensive administrative support, including diary management, handling confidential information, organizing meetings, preparing agendas, and taking minutes for various meetings. You will also assist with updating information on the Children’s database, HR, and Finance systems.

It is crucial that you are an experienced minute-taker capable of using a laptop for this purpose. Accuracy and attention to detail are vital, as many tasks are time-sensitive and must meet statutory deadlines.

Given the sensitive nature of the work, a thorough understanding of data protection and confidentiality is required, as the role involves handling highly sensitive and emotive information, including cases of abuse and injuries involving children and young people.

The core office hours are 8:30-17:00 Monday to Thursday and 8:30-16:30 on Friday. The role offers flexible working arrangements, currently combining office and home working.

A standard DBS check and clearance are mandatory for this position.

Employees benefit from a comprehensive induction program, mandatory training, and access to discounts on various products and services, including travel and leisure memberships.

For further information, please contact Ruth Kaye – Senior Secretary, Partnerships and Governance or Jenni Hanmer – Secretary to Service Director.
