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.
