Are you interested in joining a dynamic and digital first council which puts the people of Stockport at the heart of everything we do? Can you work in a fast-paced environment with Senior Officers and Elected Members who are ambitious for Stockport?
We are looking for a highly motivated colleague with extensive experience of working in a democratic services environment and clerking the full spectrum of council committee meetings (Cabinet, Scrutiny, Area Committees and regulatory), including the production of agendas and a knowledge of local authority Constitutions and law and practice underpinning them. You must demonstrate exceptional communications skills when advising councillors, officers and other stakeholders. You will also assume responsibility for providing support to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor and the planning and co-ordination of civic events in addition to being involved in clerking school admission appeal hearings. You will also assist with the delivery of elections in order to support the Service Manager, Electoral Services (experience desired but not essential) and have previous experience of line management of colleagues.
The successful candidate will need to be willing to work unsociable hours and be available to clerk evening meetings (after 6pm for which flexi time is accrued) both at the Civic Complex and at external venues in the borough. A clean driving license is essential and a car is desirable (pool cars are available for hire).
