Assistant Democratic Services Officer

Are you an organised and enthusiastic person looking to build a career in local democracy, governance and administration?

We are looking for a keen, motivated individual to join our busy, friendly and supportive Democratic Service team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of local government, supporting the democratic decision-making process and helping to ensure that council meetings are conducted efficiently and effectively. You will play a key role in helping to deliver strong effective governance.

You will assist with the administration of a range of council committees and other formal meetings, prepare agendas and reports, attend meetings, produce accurate minutes and provide support and advice to councillors and officers across the organisation. We are looking for an organised team-player with a positive, flexible attitude. You will have the ability to work on your own initiative, be able to work to deadlines, possess good IT skills, have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a keen eye for detail.

You will have opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills, gaining valuable experience in local democracy, governance and political decision making. The council supports professional development with the opportunity to undertake recognised qualifications including the Certificate in Democratic Services Knowledge (Association of Democratic Services Officers).

What benefits do we offer?

At Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council we offer a wide range of employee benefits to recognise your valued contribution:

Generous annual leave allowance plus bank holidays
Local government pension scheme and Life Assurance
Salary sacrifice schemes for bicycles and electric cars
Access to discounts at nationwide retailers through our ‘BOOST’ perks discount site
Funded healthcare cash plan including optical and dental cover
Free flu vaccination vouchers
Access to a free and confidential employee assistance program
Support towards a variety of training, including professional qualifications, apprenticeships and wider technical and soft skill development courses

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of our community.

The council signs up to the Disability Confident scheme (formerly known as the ‘Two Ticks’ scheme). If you have declared a disability on the application form we can guarantee you an interview if you meet the essential criteria for the job.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is undertaking Local Government Reorganisation, transitioning from a two-tier structure to new unitary councils from April 2028. If you are employed by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council as of 1 April 2028, your role will transfer to one of the new organisations on your existing terms and conditions. This change is part of a wider move to support local devolution and strengthen powers within our communities. For further information please visit New Councils Decision
