York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

'Making history, building communities'

We are fortunate to have a fantastic city which provides a great place to live for many of our residents - our heritage is world-renowned, our culture is unique, and our economy is strong. We are proud of York’s status as one of the safest and best cities to live in the UK, protecting and engaging our 200,000 residents and 7 million visitors alike.

It is an exciting time to join us; the implementation of a devolution deal with increased funding, our ambitious climate change agenda, and our resolute focus on recovery post COVID make our work all the more challenging, interesting, and vital in equal measure.

We are looking for a Head of Democratic Governance to play a pivotal role in driving change in governance and ethical standards, influencing key stakeholders and delivering improvements that will further enhance City of York Council’s reputation.

York is an important, prestigious, and historic city. You have the opportunity to be an ambassador of the city as you exercise the civic office duties of the role, supporting the Lord Mayor and civic dignitaries, strengthening our reputation regionally, nationally, and internationally.

This crucial role will support Councillors, Officers, and Civic leaders to successfully deliver our priorities and ensure that they meet statutory requirements.

This role is key in strengthening and improving the Council’s approach to governance, ensuring high standards of governance are maintained throughout the organisation. With whole-Council elections in May 2023, and devolution deal investment, this presents an exciting opportunity for the post holder to shape, strengthen, influence, and further develop a strong ethical governance framework, working in conjunction with Members and Officers.

This is an excellent opportunity for a progressive leader to address the challenges of local government, a trusted adviser, influencing key stakeholders - this is an important strategic role here in City of York Council.

As a pivotal member of our Governance Leadership Team and Deputy Monitoring Officer, you will directly support the Director of Governance to actively contribute to the strategic leadership of the Council and ensure the success of our corporate aims and objectives.

You will work collaboratively with other partners in the wider city and regional governance systems, building strong external relationships to deliver robust and transparent governance arrangements for the Council, and make the most of opportunities for residents and communities.

We are looking for an exceptional Governance professional with strong leadership, personal resilience, vision, and integrity; to help define our future direction, influence key stakeholders and support service improvement. You will lead the governance framework and the Council’s decision-making processes to ensure effective and timely decisions are made in accordance with the law and Council Constitution. You will also lead the Council’s electoral team as they prepare for whole-Council elections in 2023.

To be successful you will have experience of managing multi professional teams at a senior level, contributing constitutional advice and problem solving.

The role will be expected to develop a culture of accountability, transparency and empowerment enabling the team to deliver high quality, outcome focussed, risk based and pragmatic advice.

Through this role you will provide challenge and advice to Elected Members and Officers to ensure that council decisions and actions are made correctly and are constitutionally compliant, and that elections are delivered with integrity and transparency.

As the key contact for our Elected Members, you will support, facilitate, and manage productive working relationships with all Elected Members and other internal and external key stakeholders.

You need to be educated to Degree level, preferably in a public administration discipline, or able to demonstrate extensive relevant experience.

Extensive knowledge and experience of managing Elections and Electoral Services, is required along with extensive knowledge of public service/local government arrangements and procedures, with extensive proven experience of administering / supporting formal committee/decision making processes at a senior level.
