Committee Officer, Norfolk County Council - Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom - Association Of Democratic Services Officers
Description
Salary range: dependent on qualifications and experience –
• £29,269 – £31,364 per annum (Scale G) – Committee Officer
• £26,421 – £28,770 (Scale F) – Committee Officer (Trainee)
Full time, 37 hours per week (secondment or part time working would be considered)
Permanent contract
About Us/Overview
We vote that this is probably one of the best jobs in the council We would like you to join our busy team supporting the Council's many and varied decision-making meetings as a Committee Officer. You will work directly with senior officers across the council, with Councillors and the public, right at the heart of local democracy.
About Us/The Role
We pride ourselves on providing an excellent, effective and efficient modern governance service.
Democratic Services comprises three teams – Councillor Support, Committee Support and Scrutiny & Research Support. This position has been created to support and reinforce the team's resilience.
Committee Officers provide a vital role in the successful delivery of the Council's democratic processes, including attending meetings, producing agenda, minutes, decision sheets, briefing notes and reports. They provide advice to Officers and Councillors on the decision-making processes within the Council, including executive and non-executive processes, and key decisions. In addition, they support the delivery of a co-ordinated governance training and awareness programme, and will advise Officers and Councillors on procedural matters within the Council's Constitution and standing orders, including dealing with complex and politically sensitive issues in a confidential manner. Support and assistance to the other teams within Democratic Services will also be expected.
You'll be working in a fast-paced environment, advising on constitutional procedure and practice, regularly preparing reports, agendas and minutes. Alongside this, you will keep abreast of changes in legislation, ensuring that all relevant information is placed before the appropriate bodies without delay, and keep up-to-date with the changing ways that democratic engagement is taking place in the modern world.
About You/Skills & Experience
To be considered for the higher Grade G, you will need to have experience of committees/meetings administration, including: the production and publication of agendas, attendance at meetings, the preparation of minutes, and giving procedural advice to ensure compliance with good governance/democratic process. This would be particularly suitable for someone with Local Government/Public Sector experience looking to develop their career.
However, consideration will be given to candidates for a trainee position on the lower Grade F, for which training will be given. Appointments to a trainee post will usually be at the bottom of the scale, with progression subject to satisfactory performance, and further advancement to the higher grade subject to demonstration of the required competencies and completion of the ADSO qualification.
Location
We want our people to be inspired and motivated to work well together, make the most of our work spaces, enjoy a healthy work-life balance, and deliver excellent services to Norfolk and its people. Flexibility is built into the way we work, with hybrid working (splitting your working time between one or more workplaces, and agreed remote working location(s) like your home) a key feature for many roles. Our technology platform and equipment is first class enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We ask that you have in place good Broadband connectivity.
This role will require you to work from County Hall on a regular basis, to prepare for and attend committee meetings. You will be able to forward plan according to the committees assigned to you, but occasionally you may be asked to cover at short notice for a colleague.
Our Values
Service ambition:
To provide an excellent, modern governance service to the Council, through the effective administration of the Council's decision-making (and other) meetings and assisting Councillors to work in an efficient and effective manner.
To ensure all Councillors receive the current, accurate and helpful information they need to do their job.
Our service aims:
• We are 'effective' – we get the job done, fulfilling the governance responsibilities of the Council.
• We are 'efficient' – prudent with our resources, working to drive down costs whilst retaining the resilience and capability to deliver quality at pace.
• We ensure 'excellence' – doing what we do well, supporting councillors to do their job, adapting to changing landscapes and delivering consistently high-quality advice and information.
