As a member of Business Support you will be expected to undertake some or all of the following tasks (dependent on the service area you will support):
• Assisting the Senior Business Support Officer with staff recruitment, allocation of work including providing advice, support and daily supervision. Managing staff resources in relation to absence to ensure business continuity
• Supporting the Senior Business Support Officer in identifying and implementing improvements and changes to the service, developing Standard Operating Procedures and upskilling staff appropriately
