Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time
Job Introduction

Business Support is key to the success of our Children's Services because our Business Support teams are there, making sure things run smoothly, so that our frontline colleagues can deliver for children and families in the community.

All that work in the background doesn't just happen, it takes dedicated colleagues, taking pride in their work and seeing a purpose in the work they are doing.

This is a full time permanent post based at Castle House, Barracks Road, Newcastle.


You will be predominantly office based, although some home working is arranged on a rota basis dependant on the demands of the service.

Main Responsibilities

You will provide core business functions in addition to working closely with a range of Practitioner Leads, Team Manager, Family Practitioners, Professionals and Partners.

Working in Business Support requires teamwork, good organisational skills and a good level of competency using IT systems

You'll also need:

  • Level II in Business Administration or equivalent qualification
  • An IT qualification equivalent to the competency level of ECDL or equivalent
  • Good organisation skills and attention to detail, as you'll be keeping data updated and you'll be working to deadlines
  • A flexible approach to work as sometimes things can change, and so you'll need to be able to prioritise work and sometimes change tasks quickly
  • A passion to always give the best service
Interviews will be held Monday 18th December or Friday 22nd December
