Independent Person

3 weeks ago


Eastbourne, United Kingdom Eastbourne Borough and Lewes Council Full time

By law, the Councils’ arrangements for handling complaints about the conduct of councillors must include the involvement of at least one person independent of the Councils. Once appointed, that person will need to be ready to offer their views to the Councils’ Monitoring Officer (or Deputy) at the preliminary stage of assessing a conduct complaint; to attend councillor training sessions, to offer advice and guidance on code of conduct matters, at council offices in Newhaven or Eastbourne; and to participate in discussions and give views to members of the Councils’ Standards Panels during conduct hearings.

Attendance requirements are variable. Apart from advising on the treatment of live complaints, the Independent Person’s input is limited to occasional advice on Code of Conduct drafting, and training to councillors on Code compliance. Overall, the Independent Person is called upon infrequently but must have capacity to respond to Monitoring Officer queries and consultation within a short period (usually seven days). The need for a rapid response and the Councils’ responsibility for dealing with councillor conduct not just at the Councils but at all town and parish councils in the Lewes district, mean the Councils have two Independent Persons, either of whom may be asked to give a view on any given matter.

This role pays an annual allowance of £1000, plus an hourly rate of £25 for any duties performed. Reasonable travel expenses are also payable.

For an informal discussion before applying, please contact Simon Russell, Monitoring Officer, on 01323 415021.
