Full Job Description

You will be reporting to the Team Manager, Operational Support.

Your working pattern is 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. We are happy to talk flexible working, where possible.

The purpose of this role is to provide administrative and business support, normally within the ICT Service area but also throughout the wider Service area, according to demand.

We are looking for a suitable candidate who will form part of an established Operational Support team which provides all aspects of administrative support within Infrastructure and Organisational Development but in particular within the ICT area.

The post holder will also be expected to assist with work across other areas of the Operational Support Team, as required, to link in with current multi-tasking arrangements.

The post holder will be required to undertake a wide variety of duties within this demanding environment. We therefore require someone who can demonstrate strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise their own workload whilst working under pressure and to strict deadlines. A core element of the role will be to provide support to a number of team members. To fulfil these requirements, you will need to be an articulate communicator with strong interpersonal skills.

The necessary qualification, experience and skills required for this role are detailed in the 'must have' section of the attached job profile. These criteria are used for decisions on shortlisting and appointment of applicants.

This post requires a Level 1 Disclosure check.

About this company

Orkney Islands Council

View full company profile

Forget images of remote islands - Orkney is well served by superb modern transport links. Forget the idea of a few people in the middle of no-where - Orkney is home to over 20,000 people. Orkney may bring to mind certain images, but the chances are they are, to say the least, a little off the mark. Sure, we're a bit off the beaten track, but the needs of our community are just the same as anywhere else. And, as a result, the opportunities we can offer you are comparable with those you'll find elsewhere. Of course, there are a few differences: for starters Orkney consists of 100,000 hectares spread over 70+ small islands (19 of which are inhabited), so, like our service users, you'll need to make the most of the transportation links which are vital to Orkney's social and economic well-being. Orkney Islands Council may be the smallest local authority in Scotland, but we can offer some big challenges. And big opportunities. This could be your big chance to make the move, and make a difference. OIC has an impact on many aspects of everyday life. With around 1,800 staff, we are also the county’s biggest employer.
