**Job summary**:

- The Privy Council is the mechanism through which agreement is reached on items of Government business which, for historical or other reasons, fall to Ministers as Privy Counsellors rather than as Departmental Ministers.
- The Privy Council meets at least nine times a year (often more) in the presence of The King, who gives his personal approval to all Orders in Council. Meetings are presided over by the Lord President of the Council, who is the Ministerial Head of the Office. Each meeting is unique and the business can vary widely from month to month.
- The Privy Council Office is the Secretariat to the Privy Council. It is responsible for delivering all aspects of Privy Council business, including arrangements for Privy Council meetings; managing casework relating to the Privy Council’s prerogative and statutory portfolio; and administrative formalities connected with all appointments of new Privy Counsellors; Ministerial appointments; Royal Charter matters; Royal Proclamations; the approval of Channel Islands legislation; and the appointment of High Sheriffs in England and Wales.

This may include the organisation of regular Privy Council meetings, assisting with the nomination or appointment of High Sheriffs in England and Wales or management of the Privy Council Office website alongside continued records management support.

Your work will be overseen by the Senior Casework and Records Manager, but you will be expected to manage your workload effectively; and at times work without direct supervision.

**Responsibilities**

The below responsibilities are the main objectives of the post, however in line with business needs, the responsibilities may change and evolve over time to meet the needs of the Office.

Undertake a short term project to ensure all the records of the Privy Council Office are digitised, including all our current and historic records.Ad-hoc admin support, as required, for other strands of work across the Privy Council Office portfolio, as directed by your line manager.

- Excellent attention to detail and ability to multitask.
- Ability to build and maintain effective relationships with key stakeholders

**Desirable**
- Previous experience of records management work.

**Additional information**:
