The post is based at Civic Centre 1, Huddersfield. The Business Support team is very busy with varied work that brings different challenges and conflicting priorities every day.

  • Facilitating meetings (booking rooms, taking notes, circulating papers)
  • Supporting colleagues and managers with IT issues, formatting and/or creating documents
  • Raising invoices and purchase orders
  • Understanding data enough to extract simple reports
  • Monitoring a number of mailboxes

It is essential that you are familiar with computer packages such as Microsoft Word, Access and Excel and that you are able to demonstrate business admin skills to NVQ Level 2.
