The Role
This is a short-term project role supporting Place and Economy Services. The work is predominantly admin-based, with some face-to-face public engagement.
* Accurate data entry using Excel, Word, and specialist software
* Working through structured lists to convert bus stop codes and transfer outstanding stops
* Conducting bus surveys with members of the public in Kettering (ad hoc, not constant)
* Most admin tasks can be completed from home, but you must be willing to attend site for survey work when required
What We’re Looking For
You’ll need to be:
* Highly detail-focused and accurate with data
* Comfortable working to deadlines without hand-holding
* Confident using Excel and Word (no excuses here)
* Professional and approachable when dealing with the public
* Able to build rapport quickly and communicate clearly face-to-face
* This is not a purely remote role. If you don’t like speaking to people in person, it’s not for you.
Compliance
* No DBS required
* No BPSS required
* Right to Work and references required
Why Apply?
* Solid public sector experience
* Hybrid working (admin from home where possible)
* Clear project scope with a defined end date
* Decent rate for a straightforward, well-structured role
* If you’re organised, accurate, and can handle both admin work and the occasional public-facing task without drama, this will suit you.
