Advisory Board vacancy

 

Joint Independent Remuneration Panel

 

Have you ever thought of being an independent member on an Advisory Panel?

Appointment of Independent Member

 

In accordance with the requirements of the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2001, the Council is required to have an Independent Remuneration Panel whose purpose is to make recommendations to the Council on its Members’ Allowance Scheme and

that of Parish Councils. 

 

Maidstone Borough Council has recently set up a Joint Independent Remuneration Panel with

Swale Borough Council.  The Panel consists of five Members and there is currently a vacancy

for Maidstone for which applications are invited from members of the public interested in this appointment, which would be for a term of three years.

 

Applicants must be able to demonstrate a high degree of personal integrity and knowledge of

local government and the way it works would be helpful, but not essential.

 

You should live or work in the Borough and you cannot be considered for appointment if you:-

  • Have been an employee or elected Member of the Council in the last five years;
  • Are a relative or close friend of an employee or Member of the Council;
  • Are an employee or Member of another local authority

The Joint Independent Remuneration Panel meets once a year, during the day, normally in

October.  The meetings are held alternately in Maidstone and Swale.  It may also be necessary, should the situation arise, to be consulted over the phone or by email regarding an urgent matter.

 

For an informal discussion about this appointment, please telephone Neil Harris, Head of

Democratic Services on 01622 602020 or email neilharris@maidstone.gov.uk .
