Centred around Robin Hoods Bay, Fylingdales is a rural/coastal parish that stretches between Hawsker to the North and towards Ravenscar to the South. This puts us within easy travelling distance from Whitby, Scarborough and their surrounding districts. We are a friendly Parish Council all committed to our community but sadly, we are about to lose our much-valued Clerk, when she moves to an equally beautiful part of the country. We would love to complete our team with a candidate who will share in the care of our stunning environment and our passion for delivering the best to our community.
If you are looking for part-time work in this area, and are an experienced administrator, skilled in organising and administering committees, preparing and monitoring budgets and communicating with a diverse range of people, you may well be that team member we are looking for.
As a self-starter and sole employee of the Parish Council your responsibilities will include preparation of agendas, taking minutes at parish council meetings, handling correspondence, preparing notices and reports and keeping the website up to date. The Clerk is also the Responsible Financial Officer, managing budgets, payments and invoicing and ensuring compliance with financial and other regulations governing local authority business. You will have a high level of organisational, communication, literacy, numeracy and IT skills.
The post is for 12 hours per week. Working mostly from home, much of your time will be used flexibly. However, it will include attendance at monthly evening council meetings (usually 3rd Wednesday in the month) and occasionally other meetings as and when required. Starting salary will be in accordance with the NJC Scale LC1, (currently £12.63-£13.73 per hr (payrise pending)) depending on qualifications and experience. If you have previous experience as Clerk in a local authority setting, that will give you a good start. If your experience is from a different context, full training will be given.
If this sounds right for you, please contact cllr.c.watkinson@fylingdalespc.org.uk for an application pack or, contact us on 07816 287878 for further information.
Final closing date for return of application forms will be 12 noon on Monday 18 November. We expect to hold interviews on 27/28 November. We look forward to hearing from you. Fylingdales Parish Council
