SCP2-5, dependent on experience and qualifications (£22,366 – £23,500 FTE, pay award pending).
30 hours per week, 9am – 3pm.
At a time of growth and change for the historic market town of Crewkerne, the Town Council is seeking to recruit an Administration Officer to provide support to the Town Council offices, and also support the Local Information Centre (LIC) as the first point of call for the general public.
Following local government reorganisation and Somerset Council’s reduction in services, Crewkerne Town Council wants to offer more support to its residents. This role will be split between the Council Offices and the LIC, both located at Town Hall, enabling our telephone lines to be open for longer and our public-facing opening hours to be extended.
The post-holder will be a valuable part of both teams, acting as a key link with the residents of the town. The role will involve managing bookings for the Victoria Hall and George Reynolds Centre, invoicing and a range of administrative tasks. Dealing with members of the public, both in person on and on the telephone will be a key part of the role. Previous experience in local government or an office environment would be an advantage, but full training will be given.
The successful candidate will need to be self-motivated, able to work both independently and as part of a team and be focused on providing a quality level of service to the residents of Crewkerne.
This post is for 30 hours per week to be worked over five days and the post holder will be entered into the Local Government Pension Scheme. Attendance at some out of hours engagements is a requirement of the job, for which time off in lieu will be given.
For an informal discussion about this post, please contact the Town Clerk on 01460 74001 or email towncouncil@crewkerne-tc.gov.uk.
Closing date: 5pm on Tuesday 23rd October 2024.
Interviews are likely to be held in the week commencing 4th November 2024.
