<h3>Power the engine room behind one of the UK’s best market services.</h3>
Hackney's markets are thriving hubs of culture, commerce, and community – but their success doesn't happen by accident. Behind every bustling stall and successful event is a backbone of brilliant administration and licensing support. As a&nbsp;Licensing &amp; Operational Support Officer, you'll play a pivotal role in making it all work, ensuring our services are fair, transparent, and responsive.
You’ll be the go-to person for licensing systems, debt management, market occupancy data and customer support, ensuring everything is accurate, accountable and aligned with our inclusive economy goals. Whether it’s preparing a Licensing Panel case, reconciling market income, or helping a new trader get started — you will make it happen, and you’ll be there leading from the front.
This is your chance to play a critical behind-the-scenes leadership role in one of the most ambitious and award-winning market services in the country.

- Customer Service Excellence:&nbsp;Being the first point of contact for applicants, traders, and the public, dealing with inquiries and complaints with a high standard of service in person, by phone, and email.
- Data Management:&nbsp;Maintaining accurate records of licenses, payments, trader information (including public liability insurance and certifications), and enforcement actions. You'll also provide statistical reports and manage customer records.
- Operational Support:&nbsp;Coordinating meeting bookings, assisting with HR support (leave, sickness, timesheets, recruitment), and compiling Health and Safety plans.
- Compliance &amp; Enforcement:&nbsp;Assisting in ensuring compliance with legislation, preparing evidence for Officer Licensing Panels and court cases, and liaising with internal and external stakeholders.
This role requires a flexible approach to working hours, including mandatory weekend work and occasional public holidays to meet service requirements.
About You: Organized, Customer-Focused, and Detail-Oriented
You're passionate about making systems work better for people and are committed to delivering exceptional service. We're looking for someone who is:
Highly Organized:&nbsp;Able to manage large workloads, prioritize tasks effectively, and meet challenging deadlines.
- Detail-Oriented:&nbsp;Possesses excellent numeracy skills, the ability to interpret data, and a meticulous approach to record-keeping.
- Strong Communicator:&nbsp;Proficient in written and verbal communication, with the ability to articulate legal and procedural obligations clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders.
- Tech-Savvy:&nbsp;Proficient in Microsoft Office suite and capable of inputting and extracting information from IT systems.
- Problem Solver:&nbsp;Able to use initiative in problem-solving and decision- making for the good of the service.
- Committed to Excellence:&nbsp;Demonstrates a commitment to excellent customer service and operates with a high degree of professionalism.
