A vacancy has arisen for the position of a Clerk/Responsible Financial Officer to Bentley Pauncefoot Parish Council due to the resignation of the outgoing Clerk.
The position is for 6 hours per week (26 hours monthly), mostly working from home, so good internet access is required.

A laptop and printer will be provided, and you must be competent in the use of office IT. You must have good communication skills, written and verbal, as you will be dealing with the public and other outside bodies.
Your post will include preparing agendas for meetings, taking minutes, dealing with correspondence (emails), maintaining accounts, processing PAYE, preparing and overseeing a budget, management of Parish Lengthsman and processing paperwork, and keeping the Parish Council’s website updated.
The Clerks role also involves ensuring the Parish Council follow procedures and acts within its powers. A background in Local Government is useful but full training will be available to the successful candidate.
