About the role

This is a challenging role within business support, coordinating complex statutory meetings (Child Protection Planning Meetings and Looked After and Accommodated Children's Reviews), supporting Social Work teams and other agencies across the city to support and protect vulnerable individuals.

The post requires great attention to detail, and the post holder will personally observe strict confidentiality while distributing invitations and reschedule letters using email and Royal Mail Print & Post. Also crucial is resilience to exposure to potentially distressing information.

What you'll be doing

• Provide business support to meeting coordination to keep daily operations running smoothly
• Manage and organise information including confidential data, documents, and records responsibly
• Using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) for data entry, word processing and communication tasks
• Collaborating with internal team and external customers to provide a helpful, professional service
• Helping the team meet important deadlines through strong organisation and attention to detail

What skills you need

We're proud to be an organisation led by Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility and we look for people who demonstrate these behaviours in everyday life and in their work.

We value skills developed through education, volunteering, caring responsibilities, and other life experiences - and we'll support you to grow and build confidence in the role. That said, the following skills would be useful to bring with you, or be willing to develop :

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
