Solihull’s Children’s Service Business Support Unit are looking to recruit two enthusiastic and motivated Business Support Officers to join our friendly teams.

We currently have vacancies within our Integrated Front Door and Family Support Team, and our Safeguarding and Support Team.

Located in our modern offices at the Bluebell centre, Chelmsley Wood, working with a busy team of Business Support Officers, you will contribute to making a difference to the children, young people, and families of Solihull. You will be responsible for providing a comprehensive administrative and information support service that will allow our Social Work Teams to function effectively.

Your duties will also include:

- To arrange, co-ordinate and attend a range of meetings
- To efficiently take and distribute the minutes for complex multi-agency meetings.
- To act as a key contact for enquiries, building relationships with colleagues and other professionals to handle queries effectively and with sensitivity and discretion.
- Maintaining information systems, both computerised and manual, ensuring records are accurately kept
- Collating and providing statistical information as and when required.

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

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 independently to a high standard whilst working remotely.

In return, we offer the opportunity to develop your experience and skills within a friendly, professional working environment. And at Solihull we also offer employees a competitive salary, together with a range of flexible working options, attractive staff benefits and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Working on a hybrid basis; this role will involve a predominately office-based period of induction, followed by a combination of home and office working, to meet business needs.

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