The role

Stockton Heath Parish Council is looking to appoint a Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) to work 22 hours per week. The successful candidate will be entitled to membership of the Cheshire Pension Fund.

Stockton Heath Parish Council is looking for an enthusiastic and organised person to lead a small team that helps to deliver the parish council’s ambitions for its community.

Stockton Heath Parish Council is the tier of local government closest to the people it serves. It has fifteen councillors who represent an electorate of just over 5000. The parish council works in partnership with others towards a parish that is a safe, clean, pleasant and vibrant place for residents, businesses and visitors.

The role is varied and would suit someone who has some experience in community-based work/local government. The role has many statutory duties attached and a commitment to undertaking professional qualifications if they are not already held is a must.

Working hours are flexible but there is a requirement to attend the parish council’s office and it will be necessary to attend evening meetings (currently Tuesdays) and to support occasional events which may take place on a weekend.
