Job Title:&nbsp;Parking Services&nbsp;Business Support Administrator&nbsp;
Permanent:&nbsp;37&nbsp;hours per week&nbsp;
Salary&nbsp;–&nbsp;Band&nbsp;5&nbsp;One Team £29,540 - £31,537 per annum&nbsp;
Closing Date:&nbsp;Sunday&nbsp;19th&nbsp;October&nbsp;
Brentwood Borough Council and Rochford District Council are&nbsp;seeking&nbsp;a detail-oriented and proactive Parking Services Administrator to support the delivery of high-quality parking services across both authorities.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This varied role involves providing essential administrative and business support, including processing penalty charge notices, managing parking permit applications,&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;stock inventories, and updating website content.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;also&nbsp;assist&nbsp;with the administration of the Shop Mobility Scheme and&nbsp;monitor&nbsp;parking systems at&nbsp;Coptfold&nbsp;Road Car Park, liaising with contractors to ensure smooth operations.&nbsp;
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the wider&nbsp;objectives&nbsp;of the Parking Services team and the Asset &amp; Investment Directorate.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be involved in preparing reports, handling Freedom of Information requests, raising purchase orders, and supporting benchmarking activities. Flexibility is essential, as the role may require travel between Brentwood and Rochford, and occasional support for other service areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is&nbsp;a great opportunity&nbsp;for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working collaboratively, and is committed to delivering excellent public service.&nbsp;
About the candidate:&nbsp;
The ideal candidate will be highly organised, detail-focused, and confident working in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;have strong administrative skills and be comfortable using digital systems to manage tasks such as permit processing, penalty charge notice administration, and financial reconciliation. A proactive approach to problem-solving, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a commitment to delivering excellent service are essential. Experience in local government, parking services, or a similar regulatory or operational environment would be an advantage, but not essential.&nbsp;
We’re&nbsp;looking for someone who is a strong communicator, both written and verbal, and who can work effectively with internal teams, contractors, and members of the public.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be adaptable and willing to support a wide range of tasks, from preparing reports and updating web content to attending meetings and&nbsp;assisting&nbsp;with emergency planning. A flexible attitude is key, as the role may involve occasional travel between Brentwood and Rochford. If&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys variety, and is committed to public service,&nbsp;we’d&nbsp;love to hear from you.&nbsp;
Benefits of working here:&nbsp;
You will have the opportunity to work across both Council’s which&nbsp;are located in&nbsp;the south of Essex and approximately 20 miles apart.&nbsp;
The two areas present a blend of characteristics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Brentwood+Town+Hall/@51.6183101,0.3056106,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d8bec0727977e5:0x572e0dd79f8eeac3!8m2!3d51.6183101!4d0.3078046!16s%2Fg%2F11rz79cvvh" target="_blank">Brentwood</a>&nbsp;is well-known for its green space and woodlands, even though&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;located&nbsp;within easy commuting distance of London – and the new Elizabeth Line has made this connection even better, with faster and more frequent trains.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rochford+District+Council/@51.5817917,0.7050512,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d8d926d77923e1:0x8920b70d8c4a085e!8m2!3d51.5817917!4d0.7072452!16s%2Fg%2F1ttyv_x8" target="_blank">Rochford</a>&nbsp;is a mix of urban and rural and London Southend Airport sits within its boundaries.&nbsp;
