**This is an exciting opportunity to work in the heart of the Council and help develop the authority’s overview and scrutiny function**

The scrutiny team plays an important role within the new North Yorkshire Council, supporting councillors to scrutinise decisions taken by the Council’s Executive, local health partners and on crime and disorder matters; to ensure adequate challenge around decision-making, to reflect the concerns of local communities and to help shape service delivery.

Councillors on our scrutiny committees have a responsibility to examine issues and decisions, consider good practice and make recommendations to revise or develop a policy.

The team has an exciting opportunity for a part-time Senior Scrutiny Officer to join us following the establishment of the unitary council last year as we look to develop and enhance further our overview and scrutiny practice within the authority.

You will support the committees Chairs, Vice Chairs, Group Spokesperson, Members and officers to ensure that they have the data, information, analysis, support and advice that they need to enable them to work effectively in this scrutiny role.

This role requires the highest levels of political awareness, communication skills, research skills, tact and diplomacy. The post holder will be at the forefront of supporting and advising the Council’s elected Members regarding overview and scrutiny.

**What you will bring**

To be successful you must have experience in the conduct of Local Authority decision making processes and have experience of working with external business partners and clients. You will be able to demonstrate a proven track record of working in an environment that demands tact and diplomacy, managing high profile challenging meetings, and experience of research and data analysis.

You must be an exceptional communicator, both written and oral, be able to establish and develop positive working relations with councillors and senior managers and have resilience and the ability to cope with ambiguity and conflicting and complex demands. You must be able to demonstrate that you have excellent organisational and multi-tasking skills to cope with a varied workload and multiple projects, including the ability to prioritise work accordingly and respond effectively to changing circumstances without losing focus or direction, whilst meeting strict deadlines. You must also hold a degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant professional area or be able to demonstrate equivalent experience.

The post is politically restricted under the terms of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

**Flexible working arrangements to suit you**

We offer high-quality, high-profile work with various flexible working arrangements. We also offer flexi-time for those who work over their hours. As an organisation, we strongly believe in promoting a work-life balance, with flexible working opportunities and modern technology you will be able to deliver your role to suit both your personal and our business needs. You will also benefit from homeworking with a requirement to work from the office as needed.

**Benefits of Working for us**

We offer exceptional company benefits such as salary sacrifice schemes in technology, professional qualifications and green car schemes.

You will also benefit from a variety of competitive employee rewards such as generous leave entitlement and local government pension scheme. We also offer discounted retail offers and health schemes to name but a few. More information is found in our Total Rewards Brochure.
