Communicate efficiently and politely with OGD colleagues, ensuring that clear information is given, to secure a successful transfer
Monitor and chase cases that fail to receive a response from an OGD within CO deadlines.
Clearly summarise, and provide guidance if able, when escalating problem cases to senior managers for resolution.
Be aware of the role that different Government departments play in policy making and use that knowledge to make decisions about which department is best placed to answer a query.

Participate in other in-office tasks on your rota office attendance days (attendance levels sent by departmental requirement and business need)

Accurately print and prepare bundles of draft replies for ministerial signature.
Accurately scan and attach to SCRIBE records any hand signed cases from ministers
Ensure that any hard copy correspondence is collected from post room staff, accurately scanned on date of receipt and shared with colleagues for logging
Be flexible to the changing needs of private offices in a fast-paced central government department.

Be an effective team player

Support colleagues in your own team and the wider unit as required, to ensure that targets are met.
Get involved in discussions about existing processes and suggest any identified changes that may help to simplify processes and routines.
Pay close attention to detail and be committed to delivering a quality service.
