PO1: Starting salary £35,682 pa rising in annual increments to £38,148 per annum
Democratic Services are responsible for support to all 63 Councillors and manage the governance and democratic arrangements for the Council which includes Elections, Governance and Decision Making. The team also provide support to the Chief Executive in discharging their role as the most Senior Officer of the Council.
Following an internal promotion, we are looking for a confident, articulate person to join our Democratic Services Team. Working at the heart of the Council’s decision-making process, you will be required to attend a range of formal Member level meetings (some of which are held in the evening so flexibility for evening work is required) and undertake all the associated tasks relating to the management of formal (and informal) meetings, including preparing and publishing agendas, reports, and minutes. You will work closely with elected Members and senior officers, providing professional advice on democratic, governance and constitutional issues.
The ideal candidate should have a sound knowledge of local government, be a well organised administrator, have a good spoken and written English, display energy and enthusiasm, and could work as part of a small team. You should be able to work flexibly, be customer focused and be adept at meeting demanding deadlines in pressurised circumstances. Experience of the Modern.Gov or any other committee management system would be highly advantageous, and the post holder will also need to demonstrate an understanding of the importance of political sensitivity.
Should you wish to discuss the vacancy or want to have an informal discussion about the role please contact Victoria Lower, Deputy Democratic Services Manager vlower@lambeth.gov.uk

Closing date: Monday 21 March 2022 at midnight
