Independent Governance Advisor

6 days ago

Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, United Kingdom London Borough of Sutton Full time
About the Role

As an Independent Governance Advisor, you will support the Monitoring Officer of the London Borough of Sutton and provide an independent view on Code of Conduct complaints submitted against members of the council (elected Councillors).

The expected average time commitment is only one or two hours per week and is dependent on the number of complaints received. The Council aims to maintain a small panel of independent persons, typically 2 or 3 at any one time, both to allow for any conflicts of interest and to share the workload.

Key Responsibilities
  • Providing advice to the Monitoring Officer in considering allegations that a councillor/co-opted member has breached the council's Code of Conduct;
  • Sometimes sharing your views on a complaint with the councillor against whom it has been submitted;
  • If necessary, attending meetings of the Code of Conduct Panel and council committees, for which reasonable expenses will be paid
About the Opportunity

As an Independent Governance Advisor, you will not be a council employee. However, you will work closely with the Monitoring Officer, their deputies, and colleagues in reviewing Code of Conduct complaints.

Reasonable expenses will be paid in the discharge of your role. As a voluntary position, you will not be expected to work to a specific schedule but will correspond with the Monitoring Officer and other officers via phone and/or email when your advice is sought.

Requirements
  • It is essential that you:
  • Are familiar with the Seven Principles of Public Life (the "Nolan Principles")
  • It is desirable that you:
  • Have previous experience as an Independent Person;
  • Are qualified or experienced in legal or governance matters
  • An Independent Person cannot be:
  • A member, co-opted member or officer of Sutton Council nor have been one during the last five years;
  • A relative or close friend of a person who fulfils the criteria above
