An exciting secondment opportunity has arisen to join the Safeguarding Adults Board Support Team as a Business Support Co-ordinator and Personal Assistant. This dynamic and highly rewarding post offers a unique chance to work at the heart of safeguarding in Birmingham, supporting the work of the Birmingham Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB).
In this hybrid role, you’ll combine strategic PA duties with high-level business support coordination. You’ll be a key link between the Independent Chair, Business Manager, and senior leaders across multiple partner organisations ensuring critical meetings, projects, and communications run like clockwork.
What you'll be doing:
Providing executive PA support to senior leaders and Business Managers, including complex diary and inbox management, meeting coordination, and confidential minute-taking
Coordinating Board activity, Subgroups, Safeguarding Adults Reviews, and public-facing events
Designing and delivering high-quality communications such as newsletters and briefing papers, ensuring content is accurate, professional and accessible
Supporting all elements of business delivery—from funding and reporting to administrative processes and stakeholder engagement
Establishing and refining systems to support a newly evolving role, bringing your own ideas and solutions into play
What you'll bring:
Exceptional organisation and communication skills, with a keen eye for detail and the confidence to work independently
Strong experience in administration and personal assistant roles, ideally within a fast-paced, multi-agency or public service environment
Proven ability to prioritise effectively, meet tight deadlines and handle sensitive information with discretion
Advanced digital and IT skills, particularly across Microsoft Office 365 (including Word, Teams, SharePoint and Outlook)
Adaptability, resilience and a strong sense of initiative; you’ll be solution-focused, ready to learn and bring your energy to every challenge
This is a unique opportunity to grow your experience in both administrative and executive support working alongside a supportive, collaborative team that truly values what you bring. You’ll be helping shape services that protect the city’s most vulnerable adults and that means your impact will be felt far beyond the day-to-day.
If you’re ready to thrive in a role where no two days are the same and where your work makes a real difference then we’d love to hear from you.
