Band 6 (£25,584 to £27,269) - pay award pending
37 hours Fixed Term Contract (12 months)
Closing Date: 12:00, Friday 7 March 2025
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and enthusiastic individual to join the Melton Borough Council Democratic Services team as a Democratic Services Officer.
The role will support the democratic and governance processes of the Council and help ensure that decisions can be taken effectively and lawfully. This will involve co-ordinating and servicing meetings of the Council’s committees and will include preparing and publishing agendas, minutes, decision notices and the forward plan. The role also includes support for elected members and advice to elected members and senior managers in relation to the Council’s decision-making process and the Constitution.
About you
The right person will need to demonstrate an enthusiastic and systematic approach, strong administrative skills and will be able to prioritise workloads and meet strict deadlines. IT literacy is required. Ideally, applicants will have some working knowledge of the democratic process; however, this is not essential as training will be provided.
There is an opportunity for hybrid working; however, there will be a requirement to attend some evening meetings.
About us

These include flexi-time with no core hours, agile working arrangements which enable multi-site and home working, generous leave entitlement, a full week off at Christmas, Local Authority Pension Scheme, and a clear commitment to your continued professional development.
We look forward to hearing from you if you are looking for the chance to work for a forward-thinking Council and make a real difference to the people of Melton and surrounding areas.
