Job description
Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority
Governance Officer (Permanent / Full Time - 37 hours per week)
Scrutiny Officer (Permanent / Part Time - 18.5 hours per week)
The Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority (CCA) has been established to make a real difference to people's lives - tackling challenges as well as providing Devon and Torbay with a stronger voice to influence policy for the benefit of residents, communities, and businesses. It is a new organisation and this is a chance to be at the centre of supporting one of the first Combined County Authorities in the country. The CCA is a "body corporate" that has just been brought into being through the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority Regulations 2024. The Regulations give effect to the Devon and Torbay devolution deal and include the DTCCA's governance arrangements, the functions it exercises and its membership.
The CCA is looking for a full time Governance Officer and a part time (18.5 hours a week) Scrutiny Officer. The same job description and person specification applies to both posts. The post holders will be expected to cover for one another as necessary. Please indicate in your application which of the posts you wish to be considered for. Devon County Council will be the post holders' employer, and they will report to the CCA's Monitoring Officer: currently Amanda Barlow (Head of Legal Services and Monitoring Officer, Torbay Council).
The postholders will be responsible for the management, co-ordination and provision of all aspects of the governance structure and meetings of the CCA and its Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Audit Committee and advisory groups or sub-groups, and to support the Authority's overall governance arrangements.
Interviews for these posts will take place on 14 March at Torbay Council's offices in Torquay.
For an informal discussion, please contact Roland Pyle (Head of Policy at Devon County Council) - telephone 01392 383419.
