Newhaven Town Council is seeking to appoint an innovative, forward thinking and proactive Deputy Town Clerk to support the current Town Clerk and the elected Councillor’s in achieving the Council’s aims and aspirations. The Deputy Town Clerk will undertake a key role alongside the Town Clerk, in ensuring the instructions of the Council are carried out through management of a range of operational services and responsibilities.
