About the team/About the role A brilliant opportunity to join our ContactUs team within the Business Service Centre (BSC). The Business Service Centre ensures the cogs driving the council’s operations are well oiled and running smoothly. Without them, employees and suppliers wouldn’t get paid, vacancies wouldn’t be filled, and DBS checks wouldn’t be completed, leaving children and adults vulnerable. About you To be successful you will need excellent customer service and organisational skills to allow you to prioritise workloads and ensure our service levels are maintained. As a Customer Service Assistant you will work as part of a team to provide first line support to both our internal and external customers contacting us with a range of queries across the Business Service Centre functions including recruitment, H.R, payroll etc. You will need a strong customer focus and, due to the variety of the tasks undertaken within this role, you will need good time management skills. In order to complete your role fully you will be required to obtain NPPV2 (Non-Police Personnel Vetting level2) and will be granted access to information relating to police personnel and their families. Successful completion of your probation is dependent on this being obtained, failure to do so will mean probation has been failed and your employment will be terminated.”
