Are you motivated by meaningful, community-focused projects? Do you enjoy variety and learning opportunities? Are you striving for leadership responsibility and career progression potential?

This Deputy Clerk role is no eyes-down, desk-bound data-driven role. At Bingham, you’ll be a key conduit between strategic and corporate ambitions of a rejuvenated council that’s working at the heart of progressive projects developing a market town steeped in community spirit.

Interested In…?

• A mutually agreed contract of between 28 and 37 hours per week
• A standout LGPS pension featuring a 20.2% employer contribution
• Flexible working options around core office hours of 9am to 1pm, Monday to Friday
• 22 days’ annual leave, with bank holidays and three days at Christmas on top

Under a new Clerk and after recently working with an Improvements Board, Bingham Town Council is driving a bright and busy future inclusive projects to progress a long stay car park, enhanced community facilities at two sites, and support for the town’s programme of events.

In this role, no two days will be the same, and your duties will be far from mundane. With us, you’ll be a go-to figurehead across daily operations, finance and payroll, and legal and statutory provisions. You’ll also deputise for the Town Clerk and RFO in their absence.

The Next Step…

Your day-to-day work will play an active front-line role inclusive of responding to public enquiries and phone calls, preparing and recording agendas and meeting minutes, and data-related tasks via our accounts system. Project support will be a key aspect of your role and you lead supportive work for the progression of Council decisions.

As the first point of contact for a small team of administrators, you will be trained in leading all aspects of office administration alongside leading the delivery of Council services and projects, with support from the Clerk. You’ll also field incoming enquiries and liaise with the Clerk on signing off legal matters and problematic issues. The Clerk has performed this role, previously.

The Key Requirements…

Ideally, you’ll offer proven local government experience and public-sector knowledge; however, if you are a versatile business professional with proven project leadership skills who is confident in offering transferable experience suited to this position, we’d still like you to apply – we can provide training in key areas.

• Previous experience working in and progressing a small team
• At least three years of customer/community-focused experience

A Grounds Maintenance Operative role doesn’t have to be a restrictive remit for repetition, ticking off tasks from one location to the next. Imagine joining an in-house team that embraces quality of work and prides itself on the community it serves and is at the heart of a vibrant town.

At Bingham Town Council, this role is not a cut-and-leave job or a functional front; this is a role that embraces finesse, quality of workmanship, and community service and engagement. It’s your chance to apply your skills in a small team that puts its heart and soul into the people it serves.

With support from a Senior Grounds Maintenance Operative employed at Bingham for the past six years, you’ll be overseeing a one-mile radius inclusive of over 10,000 residents, five play areas, parks, allotments, a cemetery, and sports pitches.

Far from being pigeon-holed within a large team, your work will span grounds maintenance, graves and funerals, park checks, tree maintenance, allotments, flower beds, litter picking, risk assessments, health and safety checks, and Summer and Christmas Lights Switch-on events.

Interested In…?

• A local government pension inclusive of a standout 20.2% contribution rate
• Funded support to receive training and attain licences and qualifications
• Meaningful, community-focused work, embracing your passion for a job done well
• Support from a senior colleague but also empowerment to learn and work alone
•  A close-knit family-like team within a progressive working environment
• 22 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays on top and a three-day Christmas break

Combine meaningful community engagement with a friendly, collaborative working environment. We’re a close-knit team of seven, from Clerk to Cleaner, bonded by characters and personalities. Far from just being a number, you’ll be treated and respected as an individual.

At Bingham, you’ll have fully funded support for training across a huge range of skills and courses. And in a growing town with 1,000+ new houses, a new leisure centre, this will be an opportunity to grow with the community. There will be more projects and even more working variety to come.

The core working hours are 7am to 3.30pm, Monday to Thursday, with a 2.30pm finish on a Friday; it’s a 39-hour working week. A driving licence is needed for use of Council-owned utility vehicles, not for your own vehicle. Overtime opportunities exist for seasonal Council events.

Whether it’s the onset of high winds or a funeral that needs arranging, plans can change quickly. You need to be adaptable and composed, working on your initiative whilst also enjoying the chance to liaise with and learn from a highly experienced senior colleague.

Do You Offer…?

• At least three years of experience in a similar role, based outdoors
• Vocational or in-house training – or qualification – related to Grounds Maintenance
• A valid UK driving licence
• Basic, proficient handwriting skills – for signing off paperwork in writing
