Are you interested in some worthwhile and fairly flexible part-time work locally? 

Lea, Garsdon & Cleverton Parish Council is seeking a new Parish Clerk & Responsible Financial Officer from November 2026. The role takes approximately 8 hrs per week working from home with formal Parish Council meetings every two months and occasional interim meetings as required at Lea Village Hall. 

 Salary will be in line with current National Joint Council for Local Government Services pay scales and dependent on experience and qualifications.   Knowledge of the role of a Parish Clerk would be an advantage (but is not essential) as would familiarity with accounting software and basic website management. 

 Ours is a small predominantly rural Parish with one village (Lea) and two hamlets (Garsdon and Cleverton) and a population of some 850 parishioners.

 Our annual Parish Precept is modest at approximately £18k and our full complement is for 9 councillors representing 3 wards within the parish.

 If you are interested in the role, which could be attractive to either a newcomer to Parish work or to an existing Parish Clerk who wishes to take on another role for additional salary, then please apply with a CV and covering letter to Cllr Stuart Suter, Chair Parish Council, or by email at stuart.suter@cllr.leagarsdoncleverton-pc.gov.uk

If you would like more background to our Parish and the Parish Council please view our website leagarsdoncleverton-pc.gov.uk or contact Stuart Suter at the above email address or on 07840 753953 to discuss the role.
