Why come to live and work in Portsmouth?

Portsmouth is a great waterfront city and a vibrant place to live and work. It is an island city with an “inner city” feel, a seaside location packed with attractions and events, and the advantage of fantastic countryside on its doorstep. With fast road and rail links to London, Brighton and major airports, and ferry links to Europe, it is the perfect place to live and work. Portsmouth has a strong history of partnership working and has successfully integrated several local services.

At Portsmouth City Council we’re all about developing our staff, because we want to build a bigger and better city but we need the best employees to do so. With a little over 208,000 residents and 7,000 businesses throughout this city, this unitary authority’s main goal is to ensure the best care and development of all those within the city. From customer service to multi-million pound projects, our residents are at the heart of everything we do.

The Service

Your new role

Reporting to the Senior Local Democracy Officer you will be joining a small professional team at the centre of the Council providing support to elected members and the democratic process.

You will use your personable but professional approach to communicate effectively to diverse audiences, whilst being politically sensitive and ensuring that the appropriate level of confidentiality is maintained.

Your organisational skills will be required to set up meetings and to oversee the Council's petition scheme, FOI requests that the service receives and work around the annual councillor appointments to outside bodies.

Your IT skills will be required to update the Council's Modern.Gov committee system database, along with the council's Appeals Pro software in respect of school admissions appeals.

Your keen eye for detail and ability to work to deadlines will be required in supporting the schools' admissions appeal hearings process, the publication of meeting agendas and when writing minutes.

You will also provide administrative support to scrutiny panels, in respect of undertaking research and arranging for witnesses to attend meetings where required.

Please read the job profile for the full details of this role.

You will need to demonstrate that you have the Right to Work in the UK. No post will be offered without it.
