Whitby Town Council is recruiting for the ‘challenging’ role of town clerk with an annual salary of up to £62,000.
A new town clerk who will have a “pivotal role in ensuring the council continues to move forward” is being recruited by Whitby Town Council (WTC) with an annual salary of £58,523 to £62,852.
The town clerk will also act as the Responsible Financial Officer for the authority and should “lead the council through a period of growth and development”.
WTC has 19 elected members, seven committees, a staff team of six, and the current annual precept is £389,000.
The role will be “challenging”, according to an advertisement, and the duties will require regular evening work and occasional weekend working “which is reflected in the salary”.
“The successful candidate will have to demonstrate clear leadership abilities and have a sound understanding of our sector and the opportunities which lie ahead,” the job notice states.
“You will need to be able to build a wide range of positive working relationships with councillors, staff and partner organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors.”
It adds:
“You may be an experienced or qualified clerk, or you may have a successful track record elsewhere in local government or a legal or finance background in the commercial/private sector and are prepared to qualify quickly as a town clerk.”
According to the authority’s website, Pam Dobson is the current locum town clerk and Phil Trumper is the assistant town clerk.
The deadline for applications is Monday, November 17, and those interested in applying can request a recruitment pack by emailing town.clerk@whitbytowncouncil.gov.uk or from their website at https://www.fileytowncouncil.gov.uk/news/2025/10/vacancy-town-clerkresponsible-finance-officer
