Staff Vacancies

Assets and Facilities Manager

Responsible to: Town Clerk

Hours: Part-time (30 hours per week with flexibility)

Salary scale: LC3 SCP 33-36

Salary: £42,708 - £45,718 (pro rata)

Portishead is a fast-growing town in North Somerset, near Bristol, with around 26,000 residents a budget of over £1m.

Portishead Town Council is an independent and proactive council that has ambitious plans to work with the community to progress the localism agenda and to improve the economic and social wellbeing, resilience, sustainability and social infrastructure of the town. It is also looking to improve its physical infrastructure quality and connectedness of development through its adopted Neighbourhood Plan. Central to these objectives are its communication and engagement with the community.

At present, the Council is engaged in a game-changing devolution project with North Somerset, that could see Portishead take back control of local assets and services. The scope of the project is evolving, but this could see parks, open spaces, playgrounds, bus shelters, litter bins, footpaths, halls and the library all transferred back to PTC. The Asset and Facilities Manager would play a leading role in this exciting project working closely with councillors and colleagues at PTC and NSC.

The successful applicant will have at least two years' relevant experience of project, contract, asset and facility management preferably gained in the public sector, but this is not essential. The candidate should have excellent people and project management experience together with strong verbal and written communication skills and a familiarity with press and social media communications.

Applications are by PTC application form only. For further details and an application form visit: www.portishead.gov.uk or email steve.milton@lgrc.uk
