We are seeking a dynamic and creative person to join our small, dedicated team in the role of Community Projects & Support Officer. You will be required to develop and deliver our vibrant programme of annual events ranging from popular family events like our Community Picnic and Christmas Celebration events to our formal civic occasions such as Remembrance Day and Mayoral Events. You will also be able to identify new events and present concepts to the Council.
You will be responsible for events, whether part of the Council’s own programme of town and civic events or working with our partners. You will be instrumental in promoting the work of the Town Council and delivering engagement processes that positively build on the reputation of the Town Council. You will be required to support the process in identifying funding opportunities and complete relevant applications to enhance the community and reduce the financial burden on the tax payer through the precept.
