An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Business Support Officer (Level 2) to provide a dedicated business support function which is based between Town Hall Extension and Alex House.

We are looking to recruit a highly organised individual who will be expected to provide confidential, accurate and timely administrative duties. You should possess commitment to team working, be proactive in your work ethic, able to manage your own workload and be expected to show initiative and be responsive to the needs of the service.

**About Us**:
We’re the local government authority for Manchester, and have teams across the city helping to make this a great place to live for everyone. We’re proud to do local government differently, in a city with an international reputation for diversity, creativity, culture and passion.

When you join us, you’re joining a team of over 7,000 council staff helping to make our ambition for Manchester a reality. Whatever your role, you’ll be supporting our residents and communities to be the best they can be, and helping to build a Manchester that's fairer for everyone who lives, works, volunteers, studies or plays here.

To make our ambition a reality, every person we recruit needs to play their its part. It takes a certain type of behaviour, attitude and way of working to get Manchester where it wants to be. Our people and partners have agreed five ‘behaviours’ - the grounding for how we must work together and treat one another:

- We take time to listen and understand
- We work together and trust each other
- We show that we value our differences and treat each other fairly
- We ‘own it’ and we’re not afraid to try new things
- We’re proud and passionate about Manchester

A career with us means you can be yourself, thrive, and build the career your talent and ambition deserve.
