Role Responsibility
About Us
At Kent County Council, our Family Hubs are vibrant community spaces where families with children aged 0–19 (or up to 25 with SEND) can access a wide range of support. From midwifery and health visiting to parenting advice and youth activities, we’re here to help families thrive. With 56 hubs across Kent, we work hand-in-hand with partners to make a real difference.
About The Role
We’re on the lookout for a proactive and people-focused Business Support Assistant to join our Tonbridge & Malling team. Based in Tonbridge, you’ll also support hubs across Snodland, East Malling and South Tonbridge.
This is a front-facing role where you’ll be the welcoming face of our hubs—greeting families, signposting services, and supporting our Family Hub Workers. You’ll also play a vital role behind the scenes, keeping things running smoothly with your admin skills, organisational flair, and calm, can-do attitude.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Acting as the first point of contact for families, staff, and partners
- Supporting the day-to-day running of our hubs, including opening/closing and health & safety checks
- Managing sensitive information and coordinating meetings
- Using Microsoft Office and other IT tools to keep everything on track
- Helping to create a warm, inclusive, and efficient environment for everyone who walks through our doors
- Managing social media posts and digital engagement to promote Family Hub services
- Handling compliments, complaints, and occasional cash transactions securely
- Booking and preparing rooms for meetings and activities, including refreshments
- Conducting weekly fire alarm tests and logging results
- Supporting the Family Hub’s digital and virtual offer to families
- Capturing and updating data in systems like Core+ and ensuring accuracy in attendance and registration records
