Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
1 x 37 hour post and one x 18.5 hour post

Good question.

Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you’re looking for a place where your work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

**What will I be doing?**
We’re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset - and you’ll be a key part of that. Your day-to-day work will involve helping to ensure that the legal record of public rights of way (i.e. the Definitive Map and Statement) are maintained to a high level of accuracy. You will manage your own case load and will be:

- undertaking detailed research into both the history and recent use of a variety of alleged rights of way across the county;
- analysing and interpreting evidence in a manner which is consistent with legislation, case law and guidance;
- assessing whether or not that evidence shows that there is a mistake on the Definitive Map and Statement;
- presenting your well-reasoned findings in a clear and concise way; and
- offering rights of way advice to a wide variety of people.

Each case that you deal with will be different and the role is therefore suited to someone who enjoys new challenges and variety in their career.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:

- an eye for detail;
- a logical approach to research and the analysis of documentary sources;
- excellent written and oral communications skills.; and
- an organised approach to work.

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more

**Anything else I should know?**

Interviews w/c 25 September 2023.

There are two positions available, one full time and one part time

The salary for this role is £24,496 to £27,852 per annum (pro rata for part time)
