As the Council’s Proper Officer, you will be the primary source of legal and procedural guidance, working closely with the Chair to ensure our collective decisions remain transparent and lawful.

The salary will be based on the National Association of Local Councils’ pay scale and is dependent upon qualifications and experience.

Duties will include acting as the Council’s principal advisor, minute-taking, and compiling correspondence, filing and accounts, serving as the RFO to the council, administering the Parish Website, overseeing the letting of the Parish allotments and facilitating councillor development and getting the best from a diverse, volunteer team.
