An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Pembrokeshire Community Directorate for a Business Services Officer.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven individual to join the Business Services Team in providing a comprehensive business administration function to the Senior Management Team.
An ability to prioritise work and excellent organisational skills are essential for this role and the successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate initiative in planning their own workload in a way that supports the work of the team, whilst also being flexible and adaptable in dealing with the unexpected.
The role is an important one, responsible for the day-to-day management of our community premises, maintaining the health, safety and security of staff and visitors, and ensuring the smooth running of the sites. You will need to be a good communicator, developing effective relationships with a wide range of staff, services and stakeholders.
Main duties of the job
You will be a key member of the Business Services Team, acting as a key point of contact for operational and business-related issues within the directorate, linking closely with teams, services and external organisations.

As part of the central business function provided by the team, you will support senior managers with the maintenance of equipment, asset and risk registers for the Directorate. The Business Services Officer also supports the monitoring and contract management of all external SLAs held by the County Team, acting as the point of contact for SLA queries, and for monitoring returns from contract holders, as well as organisation and administration of quarterly SLA management meetings.
The successful post holder will need to be able to travel to all sites within the Health Board if required, particularly the community premises within the Pembrokeshire County Directorate.
