Business Support Officer | Full time | County Hall | Preston, Lancashire

Description

Salary £28,142 - £32,061 per annum | 37 hours per week | Permanent, Full time | County Hall | Preston, Lancashire

Are you passionate about supporting inclusive communities? Do you have strong organisational skills and a proactive approach to delivering high-quality work?

We’re looking for an Inclusive Communities Business Support Officer to join our Community Engagement and Place-Based Working service, a role where you’ll support key programmes that promote inclusion and community cohesion across Lancashire.

About The Role

You’ll provide essential administrative, data, and project support to help deliver a range of inclusion and cohesion initiatives. Working in a fast-paced and evolving environment, you’ll coordinate meetings, manage data, support communications, and work closely with partners across the public and voluntary sectors.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
