About the Role
As a Senior Meeting Administrator your primary role will be to take detailed notes at Child Protection conferences, assist the chair within the meeting and upload and distribute minutes and reports. There will also be other times where you will be required to assist the wider team with more general administrative duties such as dealing with emails, completing suitability checks and assisting with planning various meetings and panels.
You will be a key member of the team, giving administrative support to social care workers with the purpose of improving the lives of children and families that we work with. This post is both challenging and rewarding and will give the successful applicant experience within a fast paced and dynamic environment and opportunities to develop their skills.
Your Application
In order to be considered for shortlisting, your application will clearly evidence the following skills and align with our behaviours:
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise tasks, manage deadlines, and maintain accuracy under pressure
- Evidenced ability to thrive in a team setting, combined with the confidence to use initiative and work proactively within established processes
- Excellent communication and customer service skills, demonstrating professionalism, clarity, and diplomacy
- High level of minute taking skill, capturing detailed and complex discussions accurately and quickly using a laptop
- Strong digital capability with proficient use of Microsoft Office applications including Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and SharePoint
To apply, we request that you submit a CV and you will be asked the following 3 questions:
- Meetings cannot be recorded so taking detailed notes directly onto a laptop at complex meetings is a key requirement of this role. Please give evidence, with examples, of your laptop note taking experience
- Please outline your administration experience and skills that are relevant to this role
- Please list the skills and any qualifications you have that are relevant to this job.
A basic DBS 'Disclosure and Barring Service' check for regulated activity (formerly known as CRB) will be required for this role.
The job advert closes at 23:59 on 08.03.2026 with interviews planned to take place virtually which will include 8 competency questions followed by a note taking test and should last approximately 60 minutes.
