Kingswood Town Council has been operating since May and is still work in progress.

It came about following a Community Governance Review within the South Gloucestershire area. The Council consists of 15 Councillors elected for a four-year term, with elections having been held in May to represent constituents in the six wards. The council has created a committee structure consisting of a Planning Committee, a Finance and Administration Committee, a Staffing Committee and a Communications and Projects Working Party.

What will you be doing? This role will be responsible for the council’s finances and governance, supporting the town clerk who is the Responsible Financial Officer, and working with a small, friendly council team, with other stakeholders and a thriving voluntary sector in Kingswood.
