  • Using our election management system to update staff, polling stations and many other areas of election planning.
  • Assisting the Land Charges Officer with processing searches submitted by Solicitors as an essential part of buying a property.

Whilst working mainly within the Electoral Services and Local Land Charges team, team we will ensure you are able to gain knowledge of how the Council works as a whole by spending time in other areas and learning their processes and roles.
