The Parish Clerk is responsible for organising all meetings of the Council, publishing the agendas and minutes, dealing with correspondence, managing the Council website, liaising with other organisations and overseeing certain projects. In addition, as RFO, the Clerk will be responsible for all aspects of financial administration of the Council.
Suitably qualified (ideally with the CiLCA – the Certificate in Local Council Administration qualification or with a commitment to pass it by May 2028), diligent and accurate, you will bring sound administrative, IT, financial and organisational skills. You will be tactful and empathetic, be flexible in approach and able to meet deadlines.
The Clerk works from home and must be computer literate. A laptop is provided and an allowance given for fixed expenses including printing, and mileage. Attendance at the evening meetings of the Council is a requirement of the position. Normal meetings take place on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (with the exception of August and December) and occasional other meetings may be necessary, but the role offers complete flexibility provided mandatory deadlines are fulfilled.
