**Secondment opportunity to UNISON**

**Administrative Officer**

**£22,777 - £25,409**

Would you like a development opportunity to broaden your skills and experience while remaining with Dorset Council?

UNISON is the UK’s leading public services trade union, with 1.3 million members working in the public services, private, voluntary and community sectors and in the energy services. Our Dorset Branch are one of the largest in the South-West region.

**What’s in it for you?**

You will be working with a dynamic and experienced team and a Branch that will allow you to take advantage of UNISON training opportunities, not to mention provide lots of experience.

This opportunity would allow you to utilise your administrative skills in an environment where your beliefs and values are as important as your experience.

The work you would be involved with would be making a difference to the working lives of all our members within UNISON Dorset Branch.

This role will allow you to be creative, to help us promote our support and also to consider more efficient ways of working. We aspire to be more digital and would welcome someone innovative to support us to make our processes more efficient.

This is currently a 12-month fixed term post, ideal as a secondment, however there may be the opportunity to become permanent.

**What you would be doing**

The work is varied and there will be opportunities to develop your skills further and develop a greater understanding of how UNISON functions and supports the workforce. Full support, training and supervision will be provided by the Branch.

You would be the first point of contact for the Branch and would carry us forward by ensuring our website and Facebook page are enticing and informative.

As the first point of contact, your ability to remain calm and approachable will allow you to gather the information needed for their representative to pick up their case swiftly and efficiently. Through doing this you will make a difference to that person’s experience in a potentially difficult time for them, and will ensure their concern is managed effectively.

This is a busy role, supporting Dorset Council as well as many other employers, including schools and academies. However, no day will be the same and if you like a challenge this role will keep you busy

While our system is not fully digital, there is a need to be based in County Hall. This also allows the team to support each other, and the team camaraderie can also make the working day more enjoyable

**About you**

You would not be expected to already be working at this grade, this can be considered as a development opportunity with full training and support.

There is the requirement to organise your own workload and manage pressure and priorities.

An understanding of confidentiality and tact is required as the work can be of a sensitive nature and strictly confidential.

**Additional information**

For further information please see attached Dorset Council Job Description and Person Specification.

Secondments must be agreed by your existing line manager.
