The postholder will play a key role in delivering high quality administrative support to the ELC Team, with a strong focus on ensuring our services run smoothly and efficiently. You'll oversee the full recruitment and onboarding journey for all ELC staff, support SSSC registration, coordinate ELC supply, and help maintain an excellent learning environment.

The post is based at Falkirk Community Stadium as well as having the option to work hybrid. For internal candidates this could be considered as a secondment if agreed by your line manager.
Please apply if you have the following:
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
