Your new company
You will be joining Birmingham City Council, supporting a key programme of work focused on JDPS development and JDQ preparation. This is a crucial time for the team, as increasing complexity in the review process means they require dedicated full-time administrative support to ensure programme deadlines are met.
Your new role
In this role, you will be responsible for managing and organising JDPS review return documents from schools, ensuring all information is captured correctly and stored appropriately. You will maintain and update spreadsheets that track key data, making sure nothing is missed during the process. You will support the finalisation of JDPS documentation and handle the distribution of completed materials to schools. Preparing information to be shared through the team’s SharePoint area will also be an important part of your role, along with troubleshooting access issues and coordinating surgery session invites and follow-up actions. You will assist with tracking JDPS review returns and monitoring the associated pay and grading grant funding. Additionally, you will provide administrative support for each batch of JDPS review surgeries. This is a fast-paced and varied role where you will be expected to work proactively and independently.
What you’ll need to succeed
To succeed in this role, you will need strong Excel skills and confidence working with spreadsheets to manage and track complex information. Experience using Microsoft Teams, particularly Teams Channels, is important. You must be highly accurate in your work, with strong attention to detail and the ability to use your initiative, as you will not be closely supervised. Strong organisational and communication skills will help you manage multiple tasks and support the wider programme effectively.
What you’ll get in return
You will receive a competitive hourly rate, starting at £12.60 plus holiday allowance (£14.12 total), rising after 12 weeks to £15.03 plus holiday allowance (£17.60 total). The position is offered on a three-month ongoing contract with the possibility of extension depending on project needs. You will benefit from hybrid working arrangements, with your main office based in Birmingham City Centre. This role provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-profile programme within one of the UK’s largest local authorities, where your work will play a key part in supporting schools across the city.
