Saxmundham is a fast-growing market town and the town council is seeking a full time Town Clerk/RFO to play a leading role in helping shape the future.

  • Able to advise the town council in both legal responsibilities and wider work in the town.
  • A strong communicator, able to articulate the views of the council and liaise effectively with members of the community.
  • Financially aware, able to manage resources and advise on budget setting
  • Able to assist in project administration, contract negotiation and supplier management
  • Approachable, friendly, well-organised and efficient.
