• Provide administrative support as part of the Disability Support Service Team.
• Apply a good working knowledge of administrative systems to answer queries and resolve problems from colleagues and others.
• Contribute to the development of office administrative systems, carrying out administrative processes and ensuring controls are in place to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
• Any other duties that fall within the scope of the job, as allocated by the line manager following consultation with the post holder.

What you are required to submit:
• A CV
• A covering letter which shows examples of how you meet all of the criteria within the Person Specification
