2 weeks ago


Totnes, United Kingdom South Hams District Council Full time

This is a fantastic opportunity for a flexible and versatile individual to join our Democratic Services Team to take up a vital role which also provides a great opportunity to help support and shape service provision for both West Devon Borough and South Hams District Councils.

**Working with us**

**Your role**
The successful applicant will play a key role in supporting the Democratic Services Team in providing advice and guidance in relation to the management and support of the democratic processes of West Devon Borough and South Hams District Councils. The post holder will have sound knowledge of local government and council processes and be confident in managing conflicting priorities in a busy and fast-moving political environment.

Flexibility is important as the role will involve working outside of normal working hours.

Training will be given in the Council’s Committee Management system if required, but a good working knowledge of the Microsoft Office suite of programmes is expected.

In addition, you will be expected to adhere to the Council’s IMPACT behaviours and to work collaboratively across the organisation to bring about change and improvements to service delivery.

**IMPACT: Band C**

The IMPACT Behavioural Framework has been developed to support the ambitions for our workforce. The framework aims to enhance both individual and organisational performance and will be applied in recruitment, performance management and career progression. It defines the behaviours that all colleagues across both councils are expected to consistently demonstrate at work. The framework can be found on the right hand side of this page under ‘Related Information’.
