Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Some key information**
- This role offers hybrid working, allowing you to work either from home or from one of our offices
- 25 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays)
- Working as part of a small, supportive team, where you’ll form a key part of the school admissions appeals process.

**What will I be doing?**
On paper, this looks like any administrative role - but the reality is that the day-to-day work we do is varied, interesting and enjoyable (even if we do say so ourselves).

We spend our days working to improve the lives of children in Somerset - and you’ll be a key part of that.

You’ll help us with the processing and management of the in year admissions process within Somerset, whilst also advising and supporting colleagues, schools and parents in navigating this process.

This will include:

- Managing and maintaining the in-year admissions mailbox.
- Liaising with colleagues and providing advice to parents and schools.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had experience in an administrative role before (we’ve always been happy to welcome people from different professions, including, for example, retail).

We’re a close, supportive team - and we’ll give you all the training and guidance you need to be the best you can be in this role.

Then - if you feel that the role is right for you - tell us a bit more about your relevant skills and experience. You could do this by tailoring your CV (or including a supporting statement) when you apply.

Before you dive in though, here’s a snapshot of a few things we’re looking for:

- Basic ICT and data entry skills (think Microsoft Office, Excel etc).
- Good organisational abilities, with experience in managing and prioritising your workload.
- A flexible and motivated approach to work, with good time management - we are looking for someone to adapt to the changing needs of our service.

We are proud to be here for the people of Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What's in it for me?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more

**Anything else I should know?**
The salary for the role is Grade 15, ranging from £22,737 to £23,114 per annum
