Job description
Full Time, 37 hours per week – working Monday to Friday.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who can provide administrative support to both the democratic and electoral services functions to the Council.
The successful candidate will form part of the team providing administration support to a number of committees, sub‑committees and working parties, dealing with enquiries from members of the public, particularly in respect of electoral registration and elections, and assist with the preparation of the electoral register and elections in the District.
Knowledge of committee administration and electoral registration and/or elections is an advantage but not essential, as training will be provided.

You must demonstrate effective administration, organisational and communication skills and the willingness to embrace new ways of working for future changes in electoral services.
It is also important that you have a flexible approach, as you will be required to work outside of normal working hours to provide support to committee meetings and during the run up to any elections. The post holder must have a full clean driving licence and a vehicle for work.
Please note this post is subject to a DBS check.
