At Herefordshire Council we are transforming our services in response to the unprecedented challenges presented by national policy changes, the financial environment and the need to reduce demand on key services.  This is an exciting time to join our organisation and be part of the journey to reshape and focus on our clearly set out priority areas, within the resources available, to keep children and young people safe and give them the best start in life; enable residents to live safe, healthy and independent lives and stimulate the economy by investing in projects to improve roads, create jobs and build more homes.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced and flexible Business Support Officer to provide a high quality business support service to the Adult's and Communities Directorate in Hereford. As a Business Support Officer you will provide a first point of contact for staff, service users and members of the public. The post holder will need to demonstrate effective communication and organisational skills, with the ability to sensitively and appropriately address difficult situations. You will have a focus on good customer service and a ‘can do’ attitude. Attending and minuting meetings will be one of the many tasks undertaken, you will be able to work flexibly and to adapt to changing goals and circumstances. Timescales are crucial within the service and so management of own workload is essential.

•            25 days annual leave per year rising to 30 after 5 years’ service, plus Bank Holidays
  (plus an additional two days unpaid leave, pro rata for part time)
•            Enrolment in the Local Government pension Scheme (LGPS)

•            Provide the use of pool cars and bikes (terms and conditions apply)

Pick your perks – our benefits include access to a range of retail, leisure, holiday and health benefits. This includes savings, cash back and discounts. We also offer an employee assistance programme that means you will have access to confidential support and advice if you ever need it.

This position will be subject to a standard DBS check.
