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. This includes managing resources, ordering supplies, and processing invoices to keep everything operating seamlessly.

While the post is based within the ELC Team, the Support Officer will be required to work flexibly across Education Services to meet service demands and support service delivery.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate substantial relevant experience and a proven track record of working in a similar administrative or support role.

This is a full-time post, working 37 hours per week, and is temporary until 31 May 2028, due to service and budget requirements. 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.
