What will I be doing?

This is an exciting, newly established role that has been created to support the Town Council as it evolves and expands its service provision. The successful candidate will help implement and develop services that were previously provided by Somerset Council.
Reporting directly to the Town Clerk, this pivotal position requires a proactive, hands-on individual who thrives in a busy environment. You will lead a small dedicated team in the management, maintenance and enhancement of various assets including buildings and green spaces, ensuring their alignment with the town’s long-term strategic goals and their capacity to meet community needs.

What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?

The post requires an experienced leader to ensure efficient and effective, best practice working standards are maintained, whilst providing value-for-money. The successful candidate will be able to provide both a professional office based administrative support and be prepared to work externally on the Council’s estate.

This is an opportunity for a person with an established record of achievement to contribute to the community by playing a vital role in the operations of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council.

What is in it for me?

As part of our team, you’ll be given the support and development needed to progress in your career while making a real difference in local government.
