Business Support Officer – Business Support – #OR105279

Job Description

Lambeth Council is seeking an experienced Business Support Officer to join its Business Support service, based at 6 Brixton Hill, London SW2 1RW. This is a temporary role paying £20.55–£26.78 per hour via Prism, starting 22 June 2026.

You will deliver a comprehensive, 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 support statutory returns and local datasets, ensuring accuracy and reliability at all times.

The role demands flexibility — you will work across the Lambeth estate to provide cover for similar posts — and a proactive approach to managing a demanding, reactive workload. The post is primarily office-based with some home-working flexibility, and sits within Lambeth’s paperlite agenda.

Ideal candidates will be educated to A-Level standard or have equivalent demonstrable experience, with a strong working knowledge of IT systems and software packages, excellent word-processing skills, and proven experience in a fast-paced, customer-focused office environment. You should be comfortable handling sensitive information with discretion and working with minimum supervision.

To be considered, please apply with a CV evidencing your administrative experience and IT competency.
