Spinal column points 29 – 32 (currently £39,862 – £42,839 p.a.)

Exmouth is Devon’s largest non-unitary town, with a population of more than 35,000. The town and its
surroundings have extraordinary environmental importance and feature various statutory protections.

In common with many coastal towns, there is a constant need to maintain economic and social balance between age groups, and between long-time residents and those moving to the town for its many attractions.

The Town Council is a democratically elected body of 25 Councillors, supported by a team of 13 staff, and has a key role in promoting the town, facilitating town maintenance and events and providing community leadership.

We are seeking a person with the skills, qualifications, experience, political awareness and ability to support the Town Clerk at both the strategic and operational levels necessary to continue to take Exmouth forward.

The successful candidate will preferably have local government experience and be CiLCA qualified or be willing to undertake study for this qualification.

Closing Date: Noon, Thursday 12th March 2026.

Interviews will be conducted on Thursday 19th and/or Friday 20th March where, if you are shortlisted, you will be asked to give a short presentation.
