This is no ordinary admin job.
As our Administrative Officer, you'll be the welcoming first point of contact for residents, visitors, and Councillors, and the organisational engine behind the town's civic life. You'll manage the Mayor's diary, provide a personal PA service, and take the lead in planning and delivering Mayoral and civic events, from welcoming guest speakers to making sure the big occasions run without a hitch.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Behind the scenes, you'll support the Town Clerk, Deputy Town Clerk, and Museum Co-ordinator across the full breadth of Council business, correspondence, records, finance inputting, and the Council's website. No two days are the same.
What we're looking for:
- You'll bring solid administrative experience, great organisational and communication skills, confidence with IT, and a genuine community focus.
- A calm head and a good sense of humour are essential.
- Local government experience is a bonus, but not a requirement.
