Responsibilities: The Town Clerk & Chief Executive Officer is the Council’s most senior officer, with overall responsibility for its strategic leadership, management and operation. The role provides leadership and direction to the organisation, translating the Council’s ambitions and decisions into effective services, projects and outcomes for the town. This includes responsibility for organisational performance, financial stewardship, governance and legal compliance, staff leadership and development, major projects, partnerships, external relationships and the Council’s public profile. The postholder works closely with elected councillors to shape and deliver the Council’s priorities, while leading an increasingly diverse organisation with significant responsibilities for local services, buildings, public spaces, community facilities and major regeneration and wellbeing initiatives. It is a role requiring considerable professional judgement, accountability and leadership, balancing the strategic development of the Council with the practical demands of running a complex and growing public organisation, managing public money and delivering meaningful benefits for the community.
Section 38 of the Localism Act 2011 requires us to produce Pay Policy Statements, which should include the authority’s policy on pay dispersion – the relationship between remuneration of chief officers and the remuneration of other staff. This act recommends that the pay multiple is included as a way of illustrating the council’s approach to pay dispersion.
