St Alphege, United Kingdom Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Full time

Job Introduction
Solihull’s Education Business Support Team are looking to recruit two enthusiastic and motivated Business Support Officers to join our friendly team based at Solihull Council House.

The Education Business Support Team has around 30 staff who provide Business Support for a range of services for the Inclusion and Access Division. All of our team, whatever their role, share one purpose: supporting the provision of the best possible education for all children and young people in Solihull.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our Education Business Support team providing financial and administrative support for children and young people in the borough. We offer a varied role with competing priorities so flexibility and the ability to learn quickly will be necessary. This opportunity will be based within Solihull’s Council House with the flexibility to work from home for part of the week.

To be successful, you will need either 4 GCSEs at Grade A-C (or equivalent) including Maths and English, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent numeracy and literacy skills, or an NVQ Level 2 in Business Administration.

You will also have significant experience of office administration and taking minutes at meetings. You will use your initiative to prioritise your workload to meet deadlines in a highly demanding environment and will have experience of dealing with challenging situations.

An excellent communicator, you will have the confidence and ability to deal with a variety of multi-disciplinary professionals on a range of matters and the ability to handle highly sensitive and confidential information. You will enjoy working as part of an effective team but also work well independently to a high standard.

In return, we offer the opportunity to work in a motivational and supportive environment where your contribution will be really valued and your personal development actively supported.

We also offer:

- Flexible working and agile working arrangements
- Generous annual leave entitlements with opportunity to buy up to 10-days additional leave per year
- Access to our Employee Assistance Programme - a 24 hour independent, free and confidential advice and support service
- Family and carer friendly policies
- Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
- Employee benefits including staff discounts, subsidised travel passes and Cycle 2 Work Scheme

If you are someone with a passion for helping and supporting children in need we would like to hear from you.

**Interviews will be held week commencing 24 June 2024.**

Please note we are not accepting CVs for this position.

This post is covered by the Fluency Duty, as outlined in the Code of Practice on the English language requirements for public sector workers.
