An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Service Support Officer to be recruited to the Corporate Service Support team. The role will primarily be providing support to the Planned Care Team, which sits within Porth Cynnal, one of the four service areas that underpins the Through Age Wellbeing model.
About the Role:
The role will primarily be providing support to the Planned Care Team, with one of the primary responsibilities focusing on confidential minute taking to support functions such as Adult Protection, Child Protection, Fostering Panel, HR Disciplinary Meetings, and other complex multi-agency meetings.
About the Candidate:
We are seeking a candidate with experience of working within an administrative setting, with a strong background in minute taking.
