The Ivers Parish in South Buckinghamshire encompasses three principal village communities and has a key, strategic position in the Green Belt. The community has around 12,000 residents.
It is a time of change in local government in this area with the introduction of a single Unitary authority for Buckinghamshire in April 2020. As a result, this role may evolve to take on new responsibilities or activities offering further opportunities for development.
The position involves the statutory role of Proper Officer of the Council.
The jobholder will be able to:
• Demonstrate strong people skills

• Perform the day to day activities required to ensure the Council is compliant with all statutory requirements
• Display a proactive approach to designing ways of working and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness

• Display financial competence in preparing, tracking and reporting on Council finances
• Work with partners including other local authority bodies
• Communicate effectively and proactively with Councillors
• Engage with the community and communicate the Council's objectives and activities effectively.
The job requires flexibility as work in the evening (to attend meetings) and occasional weekends will be essential in the role. Time off in lieu applies.
A full induction plan will be designed to meet the needs of the successful applicant.
