Job Vacancy - Parish Council Manager
Posted: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 10:29 by Alexis Biggs
Recruitment of Parish Council Manager

Great Glen Parish Council is an ambitious forward-looking Council which has embraced a number of opportunities in recent years, as well as overcoming associated challenges. The Council is now looking for the right person to build on previous successes and to take the Council forward. More »
Great Glen is a parish of 3,500 electors and is one of Leicestershire's oldest known settlements. Great Glen lies approximately nine miles from the town of Market Harborough and six miles south-east of the City of Leicester. House prices are high across the Parish and there are significant development pressures which are placing a strain on community facilities. The Parish has an older age profile than the District as a whole, and when taken together all of these factors mean that the Council is facing a particular set of demands which it is responding to.
The Parish Council is seeking to appoint a Parish Council Manager. The successful candidate will have responsibility for ensuring that the instructions of the Council are carried out and will work actively with elected members to help develop existing services. However, the Parish Council Manager will also be expected to use their initiative to bring to Council solutions to challenges and proposals to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, as well as assisting in shaping and driving forward strategic priorities. The ability to effectively manage staff and contractors and work with councillors, external organisations, stakeholders and the community is essential.
We would like a highly motivated, innovative, organised and community focused applicant to undertake this key role. A Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) qualification is highly desirable, or candidates should be willing to work towards the qualification. Ideally candidates will have knowledge of local government organisation and procedures.
Closing date for the receipt of applications: 14th October 2021
Interviews: to be advised
An application pack is available on the Great Glen Website www.greatglen-pc.gov.uk
For an informal discussion about the post contact Lesley Sanderson, Clerk, at 07769 812203 or by email at clerk@greatglenpc.org.uk

Great Glen Gardening Club News
On the Sunday the 12th September we held our Annual Show in the Village Hall.
We would like to thank all the people who supported us by entering the various categories and those who came on Sunday afternoon to see the exhibits and the Cup presentations. In particular we were pleased to have the brilliant entries by the classes from St. Cuthbert's School in the Miniature Scarecrow Competition. The First Place Rosette was won by Year 5 LeopardsClass, Second Place Rosette was won by Year 2 Woodpeckers, Third Place Rosette was won by Year 1 Foxes and Badgers. We will be holding a new Children's Competition in 2022 and hope we will have individual entries as well as entries from the School. As Covid restrictions are eased we will be returning to a fuller programme.
