The Council is committed to 'Putting Residents First' which, in governance terms, means we work hard to factor the needs and aspirations of local people into decision:making and scrutiny, and to provide responsive support to the councillors who represent them. We look to ensure that stakeholders can, at an early stage, influence decisions and issues that affect them and that such decisions are taken in an open and transparent way. The Role: As a member of the Governance Team, you will be a key player in delivering high:quality decision making and scrutiny arrangements.

Your varied responsibilities will include preparation and publication of agendas and reports for committee meetings; writing minutes and tracking progress; supporting committee chairs and scrutiny councillors; administering the Forward Plan of Decisions; and giving advice to senior colleagues and councillors.

In return, you can look forward to a package that includes a competitive salary, a high:quality pension scheme and a generous annual leave entitlement. You'll be based in modern, well:equipped offices at Kensington Town Hall, but we encourage hybrid/flexible working.
