About the Role
Are you an experienced and creative democratic services or governance professional? Are you keen to enhance your career in governance whilst also developing and implementing fresh ideas as part of our improvement journey?


If the answers to these questions are yes, then Reigate and Banstead Borough Council have the role you've been waiting for, with a salary that is amongst the most competitive in the area.


Working closely with people at a high level, including senior officers and elected members, you will contribute to some of the most important decisions the council makes for residents, and make those happen.

Being a trusted officer, you will be relied upon to give sound advice and guidance and build strong working relationships with senior officers and members.

You will gain a broad prospective on the varied work that is done across the council as well as being at the forefront of decision making.


About the Person

  • We want you to bring us your experience of working with elected members and senior officers, delivering confident and reliable meeting support, with a positive approach to improving, or finetuning, existing ways of working. You will play a key role in helping us to develop and embed good decisionmaking at every level of the Council.
  • You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a deep understanding of working within a political environment, but most importantly, you will be proactive, dynamic and inspiring, someone with fresh ideas who can help us do things better.
  • You will be selfmotivated and able to work on your own, or in a team. Your workload will be varied, and you will need to be flexible about which meetings you cover, which will mostly be in the evenings.
  • It is important that you are a seasoned user of the (CIVICA) system. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council webcasts all its public Committee meetings. Experience of using publici and/or some other webcasting platform would be an advantage.

In exchange for your expertise, experience, and enthusiasm, we will offer a flexible work environment, support in continuing your personal and career development, in addition to providing a wide range of employment linked benefits.

We provide you with competitive annual leave, and contribute 15% towards the LGPS pension scheme.

You will also have access to a range of discounts including local and high street stores, and salary sacrifice schemes including a cycle lease scheme, and 'Better' leisure centre membership.
