Truro, United Kingdom Cornwall Council Full time

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the Democratic Services Team working at the heart of the Council's democratic process. We are a small team who are dedicated in supporting our Councillors and officers with the Council's decision making and governance processes and ensuring they are open and accessible to the people of Cornwall. The team also supports the delivery of activities and events relating to the Civic functions of the Council and the Cornwall Lord Lieutenancy.

You should have good organisational skills, strong attention to detail, be able to deal with multiple priorities within strict deadlines, with proven IT experience. You should also be able to work on your own initiative and as part of a small team, understanding your individual contribution towards team goals. You will have good customer care skills and the ability to deal with people from all levels of the organisation and community.

The work of the team is varied and interesting as it provides comprehensive support to the democratic process of the Council such as despatching agendas, booking meeting rooms, processing invoices and conference bookings. The team also provide administration support for the school education admission appeals and exclusion processes.

The successful applicant will receive appropriate training.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall. In order to best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a diverse workforce that is inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures and identities; e.g. race, disability, sex, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. We are an equal opportunities and Disability Confident employer, and we will assess applicants on their merits.

Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and following safer recruitment principles to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, young people and adults at risk. It’s a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keeping all service users safe from harm.

Whilst the location/work-base for this role has been specified our evolving ways of working means that the role may require you to also work remotely (e.g. from home/other locations). We will discuss this with you during the recruitment process.
