Hours: 23 per week

Contract Type:
Fixed Term (until 30/06/2027)


Service Area:
People and Policy


Department:
Legal and Democratic Services


An exciting opportunity has arisen for the role of Political Assistant to the Labour Group on Bath & North East Somerset Council.


The Political Assistant role is unique within the Council in that it directly supports the Labour Group in undertaking research and policy development, providing administration support and communications advice to Councillors, drafting documentation, as well as supporting Group meetings and councillors' participation in meetings of the Council and committees.


You will be working closely with the Labour Group Leader, Robin Moss as well as providing support to the Councillors within the wider Labour Group (7 elected members in total).

This will involve working alongside Councillors to further the aims of the Labour Group within the Council, liaising with Council officers on behalf of the Group, and supporting Councillors in highlighting the Group's policies and achievements.


Due to statutory restrictions on the role, the post is Politically Restricted and is for a fixed term until 30 June 2027.

Following the Council elections in May 2027, the post may be re-appointed on a four-year contract.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. A disclosure check with the DBS will be undertaken.


The Council will shortly be advertising a number of part time Political Assistant or Political Group Support officer roles, but it is
not possible to combine these roles due to their political nature.


Qualifications:
Educated to degree level of equivalent.
