THIS NOTIFICATION IS POSTED FOR THE FINAL TIME. THE CLOSING DATE FOR THE RECEIPT OF EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST WILL EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY 5 JULY 2024.
Details of this opportunity are being re-posted because questions have been received about the hourly rate for work undertaken.
It is likely that the Town Council will agree the rate at £12.50 per hour to be confirmed at the next Town Council meeting on 17 July 2024.
For the year 2024/25, the Town Council has set a budget of £1000 for this pilot initiative. At a set hourly rate of £12.50, this equates to a potential maximum of up to 80 hours.
Interested parties are reminded that they will need to provide evidence that they have current public liability insurance.
The Town Council is seeking support to help develop and deliver Council projects.
The person or persons engaged will act as “contractors” to the Council and will not be ‘employed’ by the Town Council.
This is a pilot and is not a “fixed term” or permanent initiative and the Council reserves the right to cancel arrangements at any time.
Activities will involve coordinating and organising project work, including working with elected members, the public and community groups, and other public organisations with whom the Town Council engages.
A wide range of tasks is envisaged including delivering publicity material, organising meetings for the public and partners and providing a sensitive and empathetic approach to issues raised by the public.
Applicants must be able to communicate effectively, be organised and preferably have some experience of working with the public.
The number of hours required by the Town Council will be set on an initiative-by- initiative basis depending upon the nature of the duties required.
More than one person may be appointed to carry out the tasks, depending on the skill sets of the persons expressing interest.
