Staff Vacancy – Assistant Clerk

5th December 2024

The Council is seeking to recruit an Assistant Clerk on a training plan to become the Clerk.  Full details, including job description, application form and person specification can be found on our Staff Vacancies page.

STAFF VACANCY
Assistant Clerk
The Parish of Woodcote is located in the South Oxfordshire District Council, approximately 9 miles northwest of Reading with an electoral roll of approximately 2,000. 
Applications are invited for the post of Clerk.  This is an office / site based, part time, permanent vacancy for up to 8 hours per week.  It is not possible to fulfil the requirements of this role solely from home and involves some evening meetings and occasionally on weekends.  A parish council laptop and mobile phone will be provided, in addition to other Council equipment for use at the Council Offices.
The successful candidate will be on a training programme with the intention of becoming the Clerk and RFO of the Council toward the end of their first year in post, subject to completing the ILCA and FILCA qualifications and subject to ongoing assessment for suitability for the role.  Once appointed as Clerk the hours will be approximately 18 hours per week, with the transition between 8 hours and 18 hours  per week being gradual during the training programme.
Salary offered is pro rata to the national scale LC1 (13-17) of between £28,163 and £30,060 a year for a full time (37 hrs a week) equivalent.  As required, the Parish Council would enrol employees in an appropriate pension scheme.
The successful candidate will be willing to gain CiLCA (Certificate in Local Council Administration) within 30 months of appointment (starting no earlier than 12 months into their appointment).  The Assistant Clerk plays an integral role in serving the parishioners of the Parish of Woodcote and will be responsible to the Clerk and ultimately the parish council as a corporate body.
For further information, an application pack is available to download at www.woodcoteparish.gov.uk or please contact the present Clerk by emailing Clerk@WoodcoteParish.gov.uk.
Closing date for applications: 9.00am on Monday 13th January 2025.  Applicants are requested to submit a completed application form (available directly from the clerk, or download from the website), and will also include a C.V. and covering letter.  Applications should be marked confidential and for the attention of the Parish Clerk.  Candidates will be interviewed the following days.
