Opportunities

Sandy Town Council is seeking to appoint an innovative, forward thinking and proactive Deputy Clerk to support the Town Clerk and elected Councillors in achieving their aims and aspirations for the Council. The Deputy Clerk will undertake a key role, alongside the Town Clerk, in ensuring that the instructions of the Council are carried out, as well as manage certain delegated services and responsibilities.

The Deputy Clerk will also be expected to support the Town Clerk in facilitating the implementation of the Council’s stand-alone priorities and objectives.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have relevant experience – a track record of achievement and innovation, commitment to public service, be motivated, community focused, and possess sound, communication, and organisational skills.

Candidates should ideally, but not essentially, have a knowledge of local government. A Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) qualification would be ideal but not a necessity. Of more importance is experience in a similar, public facing role. Attendance at evening meetings and weekend events will be required, for which time off in lieu will be granted.

Sandy Town Council is committed to Equality of Opportunity and actively welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

For an informal discussion and to access the Recruitment Pack then please contact the Town Clerk, Nicola Sewell on 01767 681 491 or at [email protected]

• The closing date for the receipt of applications is 12 Noon on Monday 12 September 2022.
• Formal interviews will take place w/c 19 September 2022
