Business Support Officer

We are looking for a Business Support Officer to join One Legal’s Business Development team during a period of ongoing improvement and change. The role provides business financial and systems support across the service and works closely with the Professional and Practice Development Manager.

This is not a legal role. The post holder will support and guide administrative assistants to help lawyers make effective use of systems and processes and contribute to projects focused on service improvement and system development. Experience of working on or supporting projects would be beneficial.

• Providing business and administrative support across One Legal
• Supporting and coordinating administrative processes
• Supporting sales and purchase ledger processes and financial reporting
• Helping to maintain and improve the case management system and office procedures
• Supporting projects and continuous improvement activity

As part of the Business Development team you will play a key role in promoting change and continuous improvement within a shared legal service working across local authority partner organisations.

• Up to 30 days annual leave
• Agile working arrangements
• Convenient office location close to the M5 with free parking
• Opportunity to join the Local Government Pension Scheme
• Potential career progression
• 20% discounted membership at the local leisure centre

This role is within One Legal. One Legal was launched in November 2009 and staff are employed by Tewkesbury Borough Council but One Legal is a shared legal service between Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Councils with Gloucester City and most recently Stroud District joining us in 2020. One Legal enjoys a greater pool of expertise and an improved skills base than could be retained individually by the four partners.

This enables One Legal to successfully support the varied and complex legal work arising from the Councils challenging business agendas.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The council is committed to promoting equality of opportunity; we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
