**About Us/Overview**

We vote that this is probably one of the best jobs in the council We would like you to join our busy team supporting the Council's many and varied decision-making meetings as a Committee Officer. You will work directly with senior officers across the council, with Councillors and the public, right at the heart of local democracy.

**About Us/The Role**
We pride ourselves on providing an excellent, effective and efficient modern governance service.

Democratic Services comprises three teams - Councillor Support, Committee Support and Scrutiny & Research Support. These two positions have been created following the retirement of one of our long serving Committee Officers, to reinforce the team’s resilience.

Committee Officers provide a vital role in the successful delivery of the Council’s democratic processes, including attending meetings, producing agenda, minutes, decision sheets, briefing notes and reports. They provide advice to Officers and Councillors on the decision-making processes within the Council, including executive and non-executive processes, and key decisions. In addition, they support the delivery of a co-ordinated governance training and awareness programme, and will advise Officers and Councillors on procedural matters within the Council’s Constitution and standing orders, including dealing with complex and politically sensitive issues in a confidential manner. Support and assistance to the other teams within Democratic Services will also be expected.

You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment, advising on constitutional procedure and practice, regularly preparing reports, agendas and minutes. Alongside this, you will keep abreast of changes in legislation, ensuring that all relevant information is placed before the appropriate bodies without delay, and keep up-to-date with the changing ways that democratic engagement is taking place in the modern world.

**About You/Skills & Experience**

To be considered for the higher grade G, you will need to have experience of committees/meetings administration, including: the production and publication of agendas, attendance at meetings, the preparation of minutes, and giving procedural advice to ensure compliance with good governance/democratic process. This would be particularly suitable for someone with Local Government/Public Sector experience looking to develop their career.

**Location**

Our technology platform and equipment is first class enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We ask that you have in place good Broadband connectivity.

This role will require you to work from County Hall on a regular basis, to prepare for and attend committee meetings. You will be able to forward plan according to the committees assigned to you, but occasionally you may be asked to cover at short notice for a colleague.
