We are looking for an Administrative Support Assistant to work in our Children’s Centres in the High Weald, Lewes and Havens area. You will be based in Uckfield or Ringmer, but may on occasion work in our other centres, so you will need to have access to efficient and reliable transport.

Our administrators play a key role in supporting the Council - helping us provide a better service to the people of East Sussex. You will be the first point of contact for service-users, and so you’ll be a great communicator with a real passion for delivering excellent customer service. You will also be a first point of contact for other members of our integrated team, and your helpful, positive attitude will encourage colleagues to seek your support.

The role is varied, and requires an ability to multi task. You will be able to organise your own workload to meet the demands of a reactive and busy environment. Strong MS Office skills will be key to your success, as will good data inputting skills. You should be flexible and self motivated with the ability to work independently as well as part of a team.

Additional Information

This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau). Please note that we require evidence of an overseas police check if you have lived or worked abroad.

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.
