• Attend regular virtual team catch-ups and monthly team meetings.
• Maintain high standards of accuracy, confidentiality and professionalism.

About You

• Previous minute-taking, transcription or audio-typing experience.
• Excellent listening, written communication and attention-to-detail skills.
• Strong administrative and IT skills.
• The ability to work independently and manage deadlines.
• Experience handling confidential or sensitive information.
• Emotional resilience when working with sensitive subject matter.
• Previous experience within Children’s Services, social care or safeguarding is desirable but not essential.
