Personal Access Facilitator - Essex, United Kingdom - Essex County Council
Description
Personal Access Facilitator
Permanent, Full Time
Up to £25,679 per annum
Location: Chelmsford
Interview will take place on the 14th May 2024 in our office in Chelmsford.
The Opportunity
A rare vacancy has arisen for a Personal Access Facilitator with an energetic, enthusiastic, and adaptable approach to work.
The post holder will support the Senior Equalities & Partnerships Adviser, who is visually impaired. The role requires willingness to drive (in your own vehicle, with milage reclaimed via expenses) and working with a guide dog.
This role is to support the Adviser with a variety of tasks, such as travel around the county; networking and engaging with senior public sector leaders; providing support to administrative tasks, including note reading and writing, managing communications information, data inputting, and preparation of presentations, analysis, and reports.
A Personal Access Facilitator requires excellent communication skills, professionalism, and flexibility. You will have an excellent eye for detail, a strong track record of working with office systems and processes and be able to demonstrate an understanding of the social model of disability. Experience working with people with sensory impairment is desirable but not essential.
Strong IT skills are essential, especially Microsoft Teams, which is used extensively for remote working, so we would expect you to be a super user. You should also have good working knowledge of Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
Predominately working remotely but with an office base of County Hall in Chelmsford, you will be expected to attend the office in person at least twice a month, and you will occasionally need to travel around the county of Essex. The role is fast paced and working hours will be flexible, which will be spread over Monday to Friday. There may also be a very occasional requirement for the post holder to work evenings or weekends, or travel outside Essex.
This role is specifically to meet the access needs of an ECC officer with disabilities. The role is funded entirely by Access to Work, is therefore cost neutral to ECC and is accommodated by the organisation as a reasonable adjustment in line with the Equality Act 2010.
