.

This is a great opportunity if you enjoy variety in your role and want to be part of a supportive team making a difference across local government. You’ll help keep everything running smoothly, supporting colleagues, partners and our Talent Bank consultancy service

• Well organised, with great attention to detail
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with people
• Able to juggle priorities and meet deadlines
• A team player with a flexible, can-do attitude
• Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel)

If you’ve worked with finance processes, CRM systems or recruitment administration, that’s a bonus, but not essential. For further information about the job profile and job description .

You’ll be joining a welcoming and collaborative organisation that works with councils and partners across the East of England. We value teamwork, professionalism and making a positive impact, and we’ll support you to do your best work.
