Role Responsibility

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and committed part-time Business Support Officer to join our SEND service.

The role is currently predominantly based at home but with some degree of flexibility required to work at a local office, as and when required. This role is for 25 hours per week, working over 5 days a week, Monday to Friday.

The successful candidate will provide administrative support to the SEND service, working with other Business Support Officers when appropriate, to provide comprehensive support to the service-wide teams. The team supports Special Educational Needs and Disabled Children and Young People aged from 0 to 25 years of age.  

The successful candidate will need to be highly organised, be able to prioritise their work and be flexible to meet the needs of the team. Good administrative skills, and a good knowledge of computer systems are essential. The role requires good teamwork as well as the ability to work independently to meet the needs of the service. Training and formal supervision will be provided.
