The KBSP Business Unit supports the partnership to deliver its statutory responsibilities and strategic priorities.

A key part of that support is with the co‑ordination of the day‑to‑day business of the partnership, acting as one of the officers providing this co‑ordination support, the role provides an exciting opportunity to influence practice across the city and make a real difference to the lives of children, young people, and adults.

As a Senior Partnership Co‑ordinator, you will provide support to partnership activity through arranging and coordinating meetings, maintaining planners, preparing papers, minute taking, maintenance of action plans, and support with financial transactions among other things.

We are looking for a confident, proactive, and resilient individual who can work effectively and thrive in a varied and fast‑paced environment.

You will bring:
