We are a very friendly and flexible unit, and we support and encourage development at every level.

We value adaptability, inclusivity, effective challenge, and personal development, and strive to deliver the highest standard of work in all that we do.

- Overseeing the division's function and processes (working closely with policy colleagues) to respond to Parliamentary Questions, Freedom of Information requests and other related business of state.
- Ensuring mailboxes are monitored. Delegating actions and following up with individuals on overdue actions.

**Person specification**:
We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills and experience using various computer software packages including experience of designing spreadsheets using Microsoft Office. You will need to take the initiative in improving processes and responding to stakeholder queries and have excellent team-work skills. You will have transferable skills in customer service, using a range of IT systems, communication and teamwork.

You will have these **essential criteria**:

- Experience of using Microsoft Packages, including competency in Excel
- Ability to communicate effectively in writing and in person
- Excellent organisational and planning skills
- Ability to build effective team relationships
- Ability to multitask and manage multiple priorities.
