Harborough District Council’s vision is to work with communities in a vibrant, safe and prosperous district and to bring the best opportunities to all.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join the Electoral Services team as an Elections & Land Charges Officer.
Working within the Elections & Local Land Charges Team, this busy role will provide efficient and effective administrative support to ensure the smooth running of the electoral registration process and elections, referenda and polls within the district, as well as assisting with the maintenance of local land charges searches required as part of the housing market process. You will need to have good customer skills to engage with other Officers, Councillors and external stakeholders.

You will also need experience of managing conflicting tasks to meet tight deadlines. As well as this, you must be able to effectively prioritise and organise your own workload. The ability to work both in a team and using initiative to work independently is also expected. A good general education, including GCSE English Language and Maths (Grade 4 or above) or equivalent qualification is required as well as having the right skills and aptitude for the role. People who are employed through an employment agency to carry out work at HDC may apply for internal vacancies.
