A unique leadership opportunity

Are you a strong leader; do you think strategically; have you built successful organisations; can you communicate well, delegate effectively, and make the difficult decisions? Then why not join us? We are now seeking a dynamic and proactive Town Clerk who can lead and support Councillors and staff in taking us to the next level.

Chard Town Council undertook an organisational and staffing restructure in 2021 and now has an experienced team to support the new Town Clerk. They have a good working knowledge of the town council and the local area and a high level of expertise in their individual roles.

The new Town Clerk will lead this team and support the Town Councillors in developing a Community Plan which will feed into a strategic plan and vision for the future of Chard.

Having Local Government experience would be an advantage, but equally so could the possession of a skill set that lends itself to our personal specification.
