Are you seeking a move to a busy, collaborative and supportive Democratic Services Team as we make the transition from a Borough Council to being part of a larger unitary? We have ONE vacancy in our dynamic Democratic Services team and are looking for someone with the aptitude and attitude to help support our Council meetings. It could be that you have good GCSE and/or A-Level grades in English and are looking for an exciting challenge and development opportunities, or you're an experienced governance professional looking for your next move. The Trainee Democratic Services Officer level post would suit a recent graduate in law or politics. Either way you'll be self-motivated with excellent communication skills and well organised. Whether you come with a sound knowledge of local government law and practice or are keen to build this up, our Democratic Services team could be stronger with you. We are seeking a team player with great inter-personal skills to join our friendly team in supporting Hertsmere's decision-making and governance arrangements.
