Business Support Officer – Business Support – #OR102106

Job Description

Lambeth Council is seeking a Business Support Officer (Scale 6) to join its Business Support service at 6 Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1RW. This is a temporary role paying £20.55–£26.78 per hour, starting 15 June 2026, sourced via Prism.

Reporting to the Business Support Team Leader, you will provide a comprehensive, professional, and customer-focused administrative service across multiple directorates — including Corporate Resources, Neighbourhoods & Growth, Adults & Public Health, and Children’s Social Care. Day-to-day duties include mailbox management, finance processing, data input, storage and archiving, meeting arrangements, caseload management, and note-taking. You will maintain and update local and corporate IT systems, spreadsheets, and databases to produce accurate reports and statutory returns.

The role demands a high level of flexibility, strong prioritisation skills, and the ability to manage a reactive workload with minimal supervision. You will work across the Lambeth estate to provide cover where needed, supporting Lambeth’s paperlite agenda. The post is primarily office-based with some home-working flexibility.

Essential requirements include proven administrative experience, excellent IT and word-processing skills, strong literacy and numeracy, and the ability to communicate diplomatically with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. An A-level standard of education or equivalent demonstrable experience is required.
