Jobbeschreibung

We are recruiting for the role of Business Services Officer in our team covering the York area. We are offering a fixed-term contract until May 2027, with the potential for extension.

In this role you will play a key role in supporting our teams and colleagues when they are in the office, like our Social Workers seeing children and families, or our teams being together for team meetings or supervision. Therefore, whilst you will benefit from working flexibly, including some remote working, you will also be required to be in the York office on a regular basis.

If you join us you expect to have regular 1:1 time with your manager, especially during your induction, and again there will be a balance between doing this remotely and in-person so you have both flexibility and opportunities to form connections.

If shortlisted, the hiring manager will be able to give you more insight into what a typical week or month might look like should you join us.

We are a diverse, inclusive organisation that is a safe space for colleagues with shared aspects of identity and lived experience, which helps ensure we provide a service which promotes the diversity and uniqueness of children and families from all backgrounds. We especially welcome applications from people from diverse backgrounds as we strive to ensure our workforce reflects the diversity of the children and families we work with.

We provide extensive wellbeing support for colleagues, as well as excellent benefits, all of which we hope encourages you to join us.

Let us tell you a bit more about the role...

• monitoring case progression
• receiving referrals from the Court or Cafcass Intake Team
• create / update / close cases within our case management system
• sending letters and information packs to service users
• identify any missing information and follow-up as required
• receive and deal with telephone enquiries
• meet and greet visitors, including service users
• general admin support

... And What We're Looking For.

• A relevant qualification in business administration (e.g. NVQ2), a willingness to work towards to a qualification and/or significant experience in a similar role
• Confident and capable of using MS Office applications to a basic / intermediate level
• Clear, confident communicator via email, phone and in person
• Someone who thrives working in a team
• Able to prioritise work in a fast-moving environment with strict deadlines
