Following the
retirement of the current post holder, the Council is looking to recruit a
committed and experienced electoral services professional to lead our Electoral
Services team.
We like to keep it simple here! We have an electorate of c.77,000 and elect
by thirds. Our district boundaries are
coterminous with our Parliamentary Constituency (so no ‘giving out’ or ‘taking
in’ at election time!) and we are unaffected by the initial Parliamentary
Boundary Review recommendations. We also
have 8 Parish Councils in our area.
Essential requirements for this role:
- Detailed understanding of the electoral services
timetable, i.e. ‘what needs doing when’ throughout the annual cycle.
- Supervisory experience.
- Experience of working on an electoral management
system (EMS), ideally Xpress.
- Experience of annual canvass and rolling
electoral registration.
- Experience
of delivering a range of elections.
- A positive and enthusiastic team player and
leader, able to exercise political impartiality, professionalism, and
resilience in a fast-changing electoral landscape.
- Must be prepared to work outside of normal hours
during peak times, particularly around elections, as this is essential to the
delivery of the service.
- Hold
the Certificate (or Diploma) of the Association of Electoral Administrators
(AEA). [Consideration may be given to an
exceptional candidate who is part-qualified and working towards completion of
Year 2 of the Certificate or who has significant on the job experience of
delivering the full range of electoral services.]
