We have the perfect job for you to join our team of dedicated electoral professionals and assist the Electoral Services Manager in the effective delivery of elections and electoral registration.   This is a great opportunity for an experienced electoral administrator who is looking to take the next step in their career, or for an established Deputy Electoral Service Manager to pursue an opportunity in a different organisation.
