Administrative Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the BusinessSupport team within our Building Control Partnership based in our Depot Offices in Fareham to administer new legislation for The Building Safety Levy.

You will assist customers with a range of enquiries and carry out a varied workload of administrative tasks to support the day-to-day delivery of the Building Safety Levy, Building Regulations and other associated services for Fareham, Portsmouth, Gosport and Havant councils.

A full package of mentored training will be provided in all aspects of this position, building on your existing excellent IT and interpersonal skills to develop skills such as:

• To assess charge levels from submitted plans and provide technical advice on exemptions and other aspects of The Building Regulations 2010 and Building Safety Levy.
• To determine levy chargeability and liability, issue levy determination notices, provide support for spot checks, receive payments and issue payment certificates and deal with requests for reviews from developers.

You will need to be skilled in the use of IT and experienced in all aspects of administration as well as have a willingness to undertake training to LABC Level 3 Technical Administrator level.

You must be customer orientated, have excellent communication skills, be able to work with accuracy and on your own initiative. Just as important is a flexible approach and the ability to adapt to changing work requirements.

You will have familiarity with financial processes such as invoicing, payment tracking, and reconciliation and have analytical skills to monitor progress and escalation issues appropriately.

Working in a very busy office, you will be happy to take on whatever comes up, whenever it comes up whilst remaining calm, positive and cheerful.
