At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious for our residents and committed to creating a safer, stronger and kinder borough for everyone. We are looking for a highly organised and politically aware Cabinet Support Officer to provide trusted policy and administrative support to two or three Cabinet Members, while contributing to the wider work of the Cabinet, the Administration and the Leader’s Office.

This is a varied and fast-paced role at the heart of the Council’s decision-making. You will help Cabinet Members deliver their portfolio priorities by providing high-quality briefings, research, correspondence and casework support. You will manage busy diaries and inboxes, coordinate meetings and site visits, prepare agendas and papers, record and track actions, and ensure that commitments are followed through.

Using sound judgement and careful forward planning, you will identify emerging issues, commission information, draft clear responses and make sure Cabinet Members receive accurate, timely and relevant advice.

• You are organised, dependable and comfortable balancing competing priorities and short deadlines.
