Role Responsibility

If you have experience within a business support or administration, we would love to hear from you. We are offering the opportunity to join a friendly, dynamic and supportive team which promotes professional development.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has the ability to work well under pressure and manage a variety of conflicting priorities.

This post is based at Swale Local Office, Sittingbourne for our Canterbury Kent Enablement at Home team covering Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay and is vital to ensuring that the busy team can support as many adults as possible with short term enablement services in the community.

We are looking for motivated and proactive people, who want to make a difference to the community, within a team that work collaboratively with internal and external partners and focuses on promoting a persons independence. The successful applicant also needs to be flexible in their approach and ready to embrace new ways of working to help further shape our services.

This is an exciting and multi-faceted post involving the daily use of computerised systems, recording and relaying essential information as necessary within the team, accurate maintenance of records and great emphasis on working as part of the immediate and wider teams. You will also be in day to day contact with individuals using the service, or their families via telephone and e-mail so excellent communication skills are essential for this role

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.

The ability to travel across a wide geographical area in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential. You should note that public transport is rarely a viable option as some rural areas of Kent often have limited public transport.
