A rare opportunity has arisen for the Initial Adult Social Care Contact (IASCC) Team to appoint 2 Administrative Officers to provide a full range of administrative duties and support to our busy adult social care duty team.
The role involves answering calls from the public that require the assistance of adult social care. You'll be responsible for transferring the calls to the relevant person and teams. You will have a confident, empathetic telephone manner, as the calls can be varying in nature.
The role is mainly office based and will require supporting the team with administrative tasks such as printing and posting correspondence in line with the local authority's data protection policy.
You will be required to organise and minute confidential and sensitive meetings to a high standard. These meetings will contain complex information, therefore proven minute taking skills are essential. You will gather and analyse data, have excellent IT skills with a good knowledge of a variety of IT packages, including Excel.
The role requires you to review and implement new systems within the service as well as work closely with the team members and the group manager, so being able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing is essential.
In order to be considered for an interview, please read the Guidance Notes in the “How to apply” green box of the advert and ensure you demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria listed in the Job Summary.
