Folkestone, United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time

Advert
Family Hubs are part of Kent County Council’s offer to support to children and young people, aged 0-19 (25 SEND), and their families.

Our local Family Hubs offer a broad and integrated range of early help services for families, which include midwifery, health visiting, parenting support and activities for children and young people.

We have 56 Family Hubs across Kent, where we operate alongside our partners to support local communities.

We are looking for a Business Support Assistant to be based in our Folkestone and Hythe District.

The role will have a contractual base within the Folkestone and Hythe District but there is an expectation that you will be able to travel and work flexibly across the District to cover at other Family Hubs in the Folkestone/Hythe/New Romney Localities.

We are looking for someone to support a range of busy family hubs, greeting, welcoming and signposting families.

This role is key to providing professional support to Family Hub Workers supporting children, young people and families across the District. We are looking for someone with a calm and organised approach who would like to make a positive contribution.

You will need to demonstrate excellent organisation and communication skills. You must be able to proactively manage your workload and support the wider team, whilst responding to urgent requests and deadlines.

You will be required to act confidently as the first point of contact for staff, visitors and partners in this multi-agency environment, and support the opening and closing of hubs as required.

You will be required to support Health & Safety processes and report and monitor any building faults.

You will be responsible for handling sensitive information, checking and recording data, as well as liaising with colleagues to arrange a variety of meetings.

The role is varied and interesting and we can offer opportunities for personal training and development within the service.

**About you**:

- A confident telephone manner and excellent interpersonal skills
- A flexible attitude to working across a wide geographical area
- Experience of dealing with customers

**What we offer**:
In return we can offer you:

- 27 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Generous contributory pension scheme
- Training and an ongoing plan for development
- Employee focused support and staff groups
- A rewarding and meaningful career
- Access to Kent Rewards, which provides discounts on many local and national brands for services and products.

**Further information**:
The interview will consist of an interview panel and a written test.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
