Democratic Services and Civic Officer
We are excited to advertise the position of Democratic Services and Civic Officer in our Chief Executive’s Department. You will work in a small supportive team in the Council offices in Clitheroe and have responsibility for the Mayor’s Driver and Town Hall attendant.
Working closely with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services, the postholder will be required to:
- Manage the production and distribution of meeting agendas
- Attend meetings including evening meetings

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.
Whilst you will be organising a wide variety of events including arrangements for Annual Council and the Mayor’s charity events, you don’t need to be proficient in event planning, you just need a talent or interest in events coordination.
What we do ask is that you have:
- Experience of Local Government Administration
- Competence in the use of office software
- Ability to produce accurate information with an attention to detail
You will also be someone who uses tact and diplomacy and can deal with confidential information.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential as the postholder will be required to attend meetings away from the office.
