Are you a focused and dynamic individual who thrives on change? Are you committed to the delivery of customer focused service improvement? If so, this is an exciting and challenging time for you to join us where you will have the opportunity to impact change and bring about improvements.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Business Transformation Department for a resilient and resourceful Members ICT Support Officer to support the delivery of ICT Services at both Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Councils.

The Members ICT Support Officer ensures that the technology is available and working correctly for Councillors, and that training is provided so that the best use of technology is maintained at all times. This will include visits to Councillors homes to ensure ICT facilities there are working correctly and give professional advice as to where they may be improved, if necessary.  Should the technology fail the Members ICT Support Officer will provide advice and support to solve issues quickly and efficiently.

Help for Members will need to be provided during occasional evenings beyond the normal working time, and therefore a flexible working arrangement is required.

The officer provides support across both Bromsgrove and Redditch Councillors and actively builds a professional relationship with all Members to understand and deliver the help they need. The ICT Members Support Officer may be required to assist with technical projects and to assist other ICT officers on the Helpdesk.

The post holder will have access to the PSN connected network.  As such there is a Cabinet Office requirement to be validated to the Baseline Security Standard (BPSS).  The BPSS is the minimum standard to ensure the identity and integrity of an employee who has access to official information.  This includes identity check, national and immigration status, employment history (3 years) and verification of criminal record (unspent convictions only).  Therefore, a basic Scottish Disclosure is needed for this post.

The closing date for receipt of completed applications is Sunday 18 April 2021.

Interviews will be held W/C 26 April 2021.
