Apply for the Transactional Services Officer
Location: West Midlands
Job Description:

We are recruiting for 1 role of Transactional Services Officer in our Post Exceptions Team.

We trust and empower colleagues to work in a hybrid way, providing the resources, equipment, and support, so that individually and collectively, we can be the voice of children and young people when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures.

Whilst this role is part of a team based from our office in National Business Centre, Coventry, our teams work flexibly and remotely, your proximity to the office doesn’t always have to be a critical consideration.

We are a diverse, inclusive organisation that is a safe space for colleagues with shared aspects of identity and lived experience, which helps ensure we provide a service which promotes the diversity and uniqueness of children and families from all backgrounds. We especially welcome applications from people from diverse backgrounds as we strive to ensure our workforce reflects the diversity of the children and families we work with.

We provide extensive wellbeing support for colleagues, as well as excellent benefits, all of which we hope encourages you to join us.

Let us tell you a bit more about the role…

As an Administrator you will provide a strong supportive backbone to the organisation by the delivery of highly effective and efficient transactional services which facilitates innovation and expertly transforms a range of inputs into high quality outputs to equip front‑line staff with the resources to champion the best interests of children involved in family proceedings.
