Administration Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Administration Officer to work in our Disabled Children's Team in Margate. As part of a small team you will play an integral role in supporting the work of our Social Workers and Social Work Assistants. We are looking for someone to work 18.5 hours per week. Days and times are negotiable although we would ideally like some of the hours to be worked on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Key responsibilities for this role include:

• Supporting the day to day administrative function of the team
• Taking minutes to a high standard
• Processing invoices and other financial transactions using our in house systems
• Maintaining client information in an accurate and timely manner in line with GDPR

We are looking for someone with:

• Proven experience of working in an administrative role
• Strong organisation and communication skills
• The ability to work independently as well as part of a team
• A willingness to learn and commitment to the values of Kent County Council

The work is interesting and can be demanding. You will need to be calm, organised and flexible to meet the changing demands of the service.

We are currently operating a hybrid working arrangement so there will be the opportunity for a mix of office and home working after an initial period of training.

This role is subject to holding a Full UK Driving Licence - The Council is committed to making reasonable adjustments so whilst this job requires the jobholder to drive your application will still be considered if you are unable to drive due to a disability.

This post is considered by Kent County Council 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 appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
