Further Information
You can help make sure the Council’s decision-making process runs smoothly.

We’re looking for someone enthusiastic to join our small but dynamic Democratic Services Team which provides governance support to a wide range of Committees, Boards and Panels as well as working closely with Councillors and Senior Officers.

You will play a significant role in supporting the Council’s overview and scrutiny function, including providing advice and guidance to both internal and external colleagues, undertaking associated research, preparing reports and co-ordinating work programmes.

You will have excellent written and oral communications skills, strong interpersonal skills and be conscious of the issues involved working in a sensitive political environment. You will have a diplomatic and tactful approach towards problem solving and should enjoy working as a team player to deliver excellent customer service.

With the ability to use initiative and experience of using IT systems you will also help us develop our digital agenda, particularly in relation to the modernisation and digitalisation of governance processes. Experience of Modern.Gov will be beneficial.

What we can offer you
• A competitive salary
• A pension which will earn you more than any private pension scheme
• Flexible working
• Staff benefits which save you money on food shopping, electrical goods, motoring and cycling
• Career progression which gives you the opportunity for promotion and a higher salary

We have great staff who will welcome you into their teams. Don’t take our word for it; speak to Alison Pearson, Governance Manager on 01642 444063 to find out more about the job and how it would work for you.
