Could you be our new Parish Clerk?

Are you committed to serving the community? Are you a good administrator, an effective communicator and a competent manager? Would you consider joining Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council as our Parish Clerk?

Chapel-en-le-Frith is a thriving small town in High Peak, situated in beautiful countryside, partly in the Peak District National Park. We’re looking for a dynamic and collaborative individual to serve the Council as it drives forward. You will be a self-starter, able to show initiative and to think on your feet.

The successful candidate will need to build a wide range of positive relationships with councillors, staff, residents, businesses and other organisations. You will also manage our small team of mainly part-time staff and take overall responsibility for all the Council’s administrative functions.

The Council provides a range of services including parks, open spaces, allotments and the Town Hall. The Parish Clerk is expected to be fully involved in supporting the Council to:

• Enhance the attractiveness of the town as a place in which to live, work, visit and invest
• Engage with the community to identify their needs, priorities and wishes, protecting and improving their quality of life
• Improve equality of opportunity for all residents.

The post is for 25 hrs per week, paid in salary band SCP37-41 (full-time equivalent £45,441-49,498). There may be scope for a degree of working from home.
