The role is home based but the successful candidate must be prepared to attend evening meetings. Some work may require meeting representatives and contractors on site.

Applicants must have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal; the ability to understand and interpret local government law; possess skills in financial management; a willingness to learn and show a positive response to challenge and change. A high level of competence in office IT is essential, and the applicant will manage the Parish Council website..
Ideally applicants will hold the Certificate in Local Council Administration qualification (CiLCA), but we would welcome applications from people who feel their skills and experience would meet the requirements of the role, and who would be willing to work towards this, with support from the council. Induction and training opportunities will be provided.
The post holder plays a key role in ensuring that the Parish Council meets standards, supporting the Parish Councillors and responding to Parishioners and Officials from the District and County Council.
