The City of Doncaster Council is a confident, ambitious organisation which puts improving the life of its residents at the centre of everything we do. You have an opportunity to be part of this in the role of Business Support Officer within our Your Place team.

This post is a maternity cover post on a full-time basis and temporary until March 2027. This is an exciting opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and support our locality-based teams to effectively deliver our triage model to families across the city.

The City of Doncaster Council is seeking a motivated and organised Business Support Officer to join our Your Place team within the South Locality. This role will play a vital part in supporting the delivery of our all-age, people-centred approach through the locality model. You will assist to support the wider team to ensure that children, young people and families receive timely access to information, advice and guidance and early intervention support

As a Business Support Officer, you will provide high-quality administrative and operational support across the team. You will contribute to the smooth running of the early help offer by co-ordinating information along with other administrative tasks. Your role will be essential in ensuring effective communication with key stakeholders, maintaining key systems and supporting the team to deliver responsive and well-coordinated early help support.

Key duties will include managing and updating records, uploading records onto systems, preparing documentation, organising meetings/events, creating and distributing meeting agendas along with minute taking. You will also support the monitoring of referrals, track actions and provide general administrative assistance to help the service operate efficiently.

The successful candidate will have experience of providing administrative or business support within a busy team environment, ideally within a children’s, families or community‑focused setting. You will be confident working with a range of partners, handling sensitive information, and using digital systems to ensure accuracy and compliance. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise a varied workload are essential. An understanding of early help processes, safeguarding thresholds and multi‑agency working would be an advantage.

We value a range of experiences and skills. If you have transferable skills from other roles or voluntary work, we encourage you to apply.
