About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated individual who will be responsible for the provision of administrative support to the Kingston Independent Residents Group. Duties include research on matters specific to the roles of Councillors, assisting with diary management, providing meeting support, and assistance with routine correspondence relating to the Councillors' roles on the Council (this does not extend to support with ward-based casework or party political activity). The role is located in the office of the Kingston Independent Residents Group, an opposition group of the Council, and forms part of the Corporate and Communities Directorate. The Postholder reports to the Corporate Head of the Democratic Services and Elections. While the primary function of the role is to assist the group, the postholder will, in common with all staff, be obliged to serve the interests of the Council as a whole.

Experience in administrative support is desirable but not essential. A proactive approach to problem-solving and excellent organizational skills are key.

About you
You should be enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and possess strong communication skills. The ability to manage multiple tasks and work collaboratively with various stakeholders is essential.

Qualifications
