Job description

This is a fantastic opportunity for a flexible and versatile Democratic Services Officer to take up an important role within our Democratic & Electoral Services Team.

The Section is undergoing its biggest period of change for a number of years, and this is a great opportunity to help shape the service provision for the next decade.

Working with us

Your role

You will work in our Democratic Services Section, playing a key role in supporting the Council's Committees and Governance procedures, which will involve working outside of normal working hours.

You will be expected to support meetings of the Council's Committees, provide constitutional advice to Officers, as well as Councillors and other stakeholders, and liaise with Senior Officers and Members to ensure agendas and reports are submitted in line with legislated time frames and manage the work programmes for your committees.

We need a Team Player that is capable and confident enough to work on their own initiative when the need arises.

Training will be given in the Council's Committee Management system if required, but a good working knowledge of the Microsoft Office suite of programmes is expected.

Any previous experience of working in a committee environment would be beneficial.

In addition, you will be expected to adhere to the Council's values and behaviours of Trust, One Team, Performance, Innovation and Customer; and to work collaboratively across the organisation to bring about change and improvements to service delivery.

If you feel the above applies to you then we would be happy to hear from you.

Epping Forest District Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
