Much more than paperwork – this role is about people, purpose, and pride in Harrogate. You’ll be at the heart of our operations, supporting the Town Clerk and Councillors.

As a calm and confident presence, you will be the first point of contact for all public enquiries to Harrogate Town Council. Some evening and weekend working will be required to support meetings and events.
Why this role is made for you:
You have strong experience working in busy office environments and understand the importance of responsive customer service. You appreciate that there may be unplanned changes or events and are able to act accordingly, always ensuring that the Council can deliver its services effectively.
You’re a self-starter who thrives on juggling multiple priorities without losing sight of the details
Calm and composed under pressure, you keep operations running smoothly when it matters most
