Applicants should demonstrate significant managerial and financial experience and will have relevant knowledge of local government systems and procedures.

The clerk is normally based in the town’s Community Centre. During the COVID-19 crisis, it would be expected that the clerk would work from home with time in the office for essential tasks, as appropriate. Attendance is required at regular evening meetings, which are currently held by zoom due to Covid-19 restrictions but normally take place in the Community Centre.
