Your Role
We are looking to appoint a ‘pool’ of Mayoral Attendants on a ‘casual’ basis to drive/attend the Mayor and Mayoress/Consort on Civic Engagements and provide support to the Mayor, including the provision of advice and guidance on protocol, procedure and etiquette. The Mayoral engagements can take place at any time, seven days a week, but advance notice will be given.
