Are you highly organised, detail-focused, and confident capturing information accurately? We’re looking for Business Support Administrators, with a strong focus on minute taking, to support essential services across the organisation.

This post is subject to a Basic Disclosure check, to be completed following confirmation of acceptance, at a cost of £25 to the successful candidate.

About the Role
This role is primarily focused on professional minute taking within statutory meetings.
You’ll play a key part in supporting high-level, multi-agency meetings—such as child and adult protection conferences—where accuracy, attention to detail, and confidentiality are critical. Your notes may be used in formal and legal contexts, so quality and precision are essential.

Your responsibilities will include:
• Attending statutory meetings and producing clear, accurate, and professional minutes
• Capturing complex discussions and summarising key decisions and actions
• Organising and coordinating meetings, including scheduling and logistics
• Preparing and distributing agendas and supporting documentation
• Liaising with professionals across services (e.g. health, police, legal and social work)
• Handling sensitive and confidential information appropriately
• Acting as a first point of contact for meeting-related enquiries
• Updating systems and maintaining accurate records
• Supporting wider administrative tasks as required

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re:
• Experienced in minute taking, particularly in complex or formal settings
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• A strong listener, able to accurately capture and summarise discussions
• Confident working with sensitive and sometimes emotional subject matter
• Skilled in written communication, producing clear and professional documentation
• Able to manage competing deadlines and prioritise effectively
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office and administrative systems
Previous administrative and minute taking experience is essential.

Why Apply?
• Develop specialist experience in high-level minute taking
• Be part of a role that directly supports important safeguarding and statutory processes
• Work within a supportive and collaborative team environment
• Gain valuable experience in a public sector setting
