In your role, you will be gathering evidence directly from residents, staff and partner organisations and best practice from industry leaders, local and national government to support the committees’ reviews and inform their recommendations, which you will play an instrumental part in bringing together.
You will also be supporting the committees at their formal meetings, writing minutes, advising on procedural matters and facilitating the compilation of agendas, the attendance of guest speakers and the webcasting of the meeting on the Council’s website.
We are looking for:
- A highly organised individual that can manage a highly demanding workload.
- Someone with direct experience of supporting committees, boards, panels or similar.
- Someone with a keen interest in shaping policy and undertaking research.
- Someone who can communicate effectively with staff, councillors and corporate partners, as well as with Islington’s communities and residents.
- Someone who can attend evening meetings at the Town Hall, sometimes at short notice and occasionally at other locations around the borough, or online.
This is a politically restricted role. Successful candidates will be expected to work flexibly, both in-person and remotely, and to attend evening meetings where required.
