Are you an enthusiastic, hardworking, team-player looking for a new role in democratic services?

This is an exciting time to join Waverley Borough Council playing a key role in supporting all the Council Committees, as well as providing support to councillors and senior management at the heart of the Council’s decision-making as we begin to work in collaboration with Guildford Borough Council.

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated Democratic Services Officer with experience of working in a committee services role in a local authority or similar organisation.
