Summary

Working in one of the council’s most high priority areas, the Household Support Fund team is looking for a confident, experienced Admin Support Officer. The successful candidate will assist with the administration of the DWP Household Support Fund, to benefit vulnerable Island residents with the rising cost of food, utilities, and wider essentials.
