Full job description

Salary £32,061 - £36,363 per annum | 37 hours per week | Permanent, Full time | Democratic Services Officer | Lancashire County Council

Help shape the decisions that shape Lancashire.

We’re looking for an organised, confident and politically aware professional to join our Democratic Services Team at Lancashire County Council. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working at the heart of decision-making, and want to make a real impact on local communities – this role is for you.

What you’ll be doing

As a Democratic Services Officer, you’ll sit right at the centre of the Council’s governance and decision-making processes.

You will:

Run the show behind the scenes – organising and administering high-profile council and committee meetings
Support elected members and senior officers – providing expert advice on procedures, governance, and the Council’s Constitution
Keep decisions on track – preparing agendas, managing reports, and producing accurate minutes to tight deadlines
Be a trusted advisor – guiding colleagues and stakeholders through complex and often sensitive processes
Support council-owned companies – helping oversee governance arrangements, meetings and statutory requirements
Work flexibly – occasionally attending evening meetings and events outside County Hall

Your work will directly support transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making across Lancashire. Please note that this is a politically restricted post.

What we’re looking for

We want someone who is:

Organised and detail-focused – able to manage multiple deadlines without missing a beat
Confident and professional – comfortable working with councillors, senior leaders and external partners
Politically astute – understanding (or willing to learn) how local government operates in a political environment
A strong communicator – able to explain complex processes clearly and confidently, even in public meetings
Proactive and adaptable – ready to take ownership and respond to changing priorities
Tech-savvy – confident using Microsoft Office (knowledge of Modern.gov is a bonus)

Experience supporting committees or formal meetings is desirable, but we’re equally interested in motivated individuals with the right skills and mindset.

Why join us?

At Lancashire County Council, you’ll be part of a supportive and collaborative team that values professionalism, innovation and respect.

You’ll play a vital role in helping us deliver our vision of making Lancashire the best place to live, work, visit and prosper.

Ready to make a difference?

If you want a role where no two days are the same, where your work enables democratic decisions, and where you’ll build relationships across the organisation – apply now.

How to Apply

Please upload a supporting statement when you submit your application, which demonstrates how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for interview without this evidence. A curriculum vitae (CV) does not count as a supporting statement.

Contact and Additional Information

For an informal discussion about the role or for more information, please contact Holly Tween, Senior Democratic Services Officer on 01772 537955 or at [email protected].

Closing date for application is 23:59 on Sunday 7 th June 2026. Interviews are expected to take place week commencing 15 th June 2026. Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits to employees. You can find more details on our website. We reserve the right to close down a vacancy early and before the closing date if we receive sufficient applications.
