Do you have a passion for helping people and enjoy working in fast paced roles? Are you looking for personal and professional development?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity to join the Dartford Children's Social Work Team as the Business Support Lead within Integrated Children's Services.

This role is based at the Willows in Swanley, where you will work to support 4 busy Social Work Teams and operate an Imprest Account for the Service.

You will supervise a Team of 5 Business Support Officers and oversee the daily running of the Business Support tasks for the service.

The role requires excellent organisational and communication skills.

As Business Support Lead you will supervise a team of Business Support Officers, ensuring processes and systems are effective, up to date and accurate.

You must be able to proactively manage your workload and the workload of your team whilst responding to urgent requests and deadlines.

You will have strong administrative and IT skills and the ability to collate and manage data. Previous experience with minute taking would be helpful, but not essential.

The role includes a high volume of financial processes, such as the operation of a busy Imprest Account and the processing of Invoices.

You will need to demonstrate a confident manner liaising with the public, professionals, and outside organisations as a point of contact for the service.

You will be responsible for coordinating team movements and monitoring team performance.

The work is interesting, varied and demanding.

We need someone with a calm and organised approach who can make a positive contribution to the success of the team.

We are looking for someone who is flexible with a can-do attitude.

In return we can offer you:

26 days annual leave + bank holidays
Generous contributory pension scheme
Training and an ongoing plan for development

This role requires you to be mobile throughout a wide operational area in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day.

You should note that public transport is rarely a viable option as your role will involve you visiting venues in rural areas, often with limited public transport.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.

The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.

The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
