About the job

Good question.

Well, for a start, we\'re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that\'s why we\'re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you\'re looking for a place where your work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

We are currently seeking a highly organised and detail-oriented administrator to support to join our award-winning service in Somerset. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing administrative support to the Health Visiting teams, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the service. This post will be based in Highbridge and Axbridge and there will be some opportunity for home working. Some countywide support may be required.

A bit about the Public Health Nursing Team

In Somerset we have continued to re-shape the way Health Visitors work and our experience gained throughout the pandemic, has enabled us to build on innovative practices to keep delivering the Healthy Child Programme, holistically meeting family\'s needs. This has been achieved by working collaboratively with our partner agencies and building community capacity.

We are a team with a strong Public Health Focus committed to improving the health and well-being of our children and families in Somerset using good leadership skills and a sound knowledge base in safeguarding and child protection processes.

We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you are skilled in the use of Microsoft office and competent with working with the public both face-to-face and via the telephone.

Experience of working within a health or social care setting is desirable.

The post requires the handling of sensitive and confidential information and therefore attention to detail and an ability to work under pressure and as a team player is essential.

We\'re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to enrich our team. You can always contact the hiring manager for a chat if there\'s anything you want to talk about before you apply.

We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

• We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
• Prioritised superb Safeguarding, Clinical, and Restorative supervision.
• The opportunity to fulfil your leadership role within the team.
• Continuing Professional Development opportunities.
• Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
• Staff discounts in gyms.
• Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
• Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
• A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
• My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more

On 1st April 2023, the County and District councils in Somerset were replaced by a new single unitary authority - Somerset Council. It\'s an exciting time to join us as we work together to deliver the new council for Somerset.
