Vacancy Description
You won’t have to work at a polling station giving out ballot papers, but you will be part of the core team who makes sure that our 75,000 electors can vote by visiting a polling station or by post.
You will be working in the council offices within a small team in an administrative role. You would be dealing with customers, our councillors, and other teams around the council.
This role is very varied and you can be talking to a customer about their postal vote or checking ballot papers to make sure the wording is correct. You will also be processing local searches on our Total Land Charges software system, making sure that the work is done within set timelines.
The tasks that you will be dealing with include but won’t be limited to:
* Sorting and scanning electoral registration forms, then inputting information onto a database regarding electoral registration as well as making enquiries of customers.
* Dealing with customer and Officer enquiries on the telephone, by email, as well as in person regarding registering to vote, voting by post, or at a polling station.
* Dealing with office-based services which can include, receiving and sending post, copying, scanning, and filing of documents.
* Using our election management system to update staff, polling stations, and many other areas of election planning.
* Assisting the Land Charges Officer with processing searches submitted by Solicitors as an essential part of buying a property.
Whilst working mainly within the Electoral Services and Local Land Charges team, we will ensure you are able to gain knowledge of how the Council works as a whole by spending time in other areas and learning their processes and roles.
Please note, during the election period travel to other locations is necessary; therefore candidates are required to have a full driving licence and their own transport.
