About You
It is a busy and fast-paced role, working to tight deadlines, and you need to be able to work in this way. You will be part of a team of staff undertaking placement finding, providing admin support to the wider commissioning team, including the home finding and contract monitoring team. The team works closely together with daily MS teams calls and a lively MS teams chat stream.
Everyone works together, and we are all passionate about finding the right home for every child or young person.
We have monthly team meetings and work in the office 1 to 2 days a week. You can work in the office daily if this suits. We are based at Shire Hall.
Core hours at 9 am to 5 pm and this is required to manage the demands of the service provision.
