Summary
The SAO role in Community Integration offers a strong career development opportunity for an experienced administrator joining the GM Community Integration team. The role sits within a fast‑moving and evolving area of work, requiring close engagement with key stakeholders both regionally and nationally. The successful candidate will operate in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment undergoing continual change. Flexibility, strong prioritisation skills and the ability to respond effectively to competing demands will be essential. Well developed interpersonal skills are required to enable productive working across complex multi‑agency partnerships. A high level of personal and professional resilience is also essential. While experience of managing people and resources would be advantageous, it is not essential. However, the postholder will be expected to provide effective leadership to a dispersed regional team of case administrators, ensuring delivery against agreed business priorities, standards and timescales. We will be holding a merit list for this campaign should further opportunities arise within the next twelve months. Here is a snapshot of the different teams within Community Integration.
