  • Drafting committee reports about applications to modify the Definitive Map.
  • Updating and maintaining various statutory registers and other records.

You will already have:

  • Degree or diploma in a relevant subject or the ability to work at that level.
  • A knowledge of Public Rights of Way legislation and how it applies to the council’s statutory duties.
  • Excellent analytical and written and verbal communication skills.

It is essential that you have a flexible and ‘can do’ attitude, possess excellent customer care skills and good IT skills, and that you are familiar with a variety of computer packages in particular Microsoft Office.
