Opportunities

An opportunity has arisen to join Maiden Bradley Parish Council. The role is an interesting and varied one. This is a “work from home” position as there is no parish council office. The position requires 9 hours a week to be taken between Monday-Friday (9.00am to 5.30pm), though this increases on occasions at busy times of the year. Attendance at monthly evening Parish Council meetings (the second Tuesday in the month) is vital but in the month of August there is no meeting.

Salary and conditions will be in accordance with the NALC Employment Contract to the Salary Band LC2, point nine or above on the National Joint Council (NJA) pay scales, depending on experience (ILCA/CiLCA qualification or similar). Point 18 equates to a salary of £25,419 per year/£14.21ph (as @ 1 April 2022) and is calculated by pro-rata reference to the standard working week for local government staff of 37 hours.

The post requires a self-motivated person with a good general education, sound administrative skills, an attention to detail, an ability to meet deadlines and a demonstrated ability to get on with people/work with the general public.

Previous work as a clerk is required. Specifically, the Clerk should be competent in Word, Excel, email, website software and social media. Accounting knowledge and experience is also required. Equipment will be provided.

This part time role will commence on a flexible mutually agreed date.

Closing date for applications, comprising a CV with a covering letter is 21 April 2023.
