Aldenham Parish Council Deputy Chief Officer (with Facilities & Open Spaces Management responsibilities)

Salary: £45,075 – £47,181 (SCP 33–36)

Full time, 37 hours per week + occasional evenings 

Aldenham Parish Council is looking for an experienced and motivated Deputy Chief Officer with Facilities & Open Spaces Management responsibilities to lead the management, maintenance, and development of our buildings, open spaces and community assets — while also acting as Deputy to the Chief Officer, ensuring continuity and resilience across the organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward‑thinking council with a strong community focus, award‑winning open spaces, and an ambitious programme of projects. If you’re passionate about delivering high‑quality public spaces, confident in managing contractors and facilities, and ready to play a key role in the leadership of the Council, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

As Deputy Chief Officer, you’ll take the lead in making sure Aldenham Parish Council’s buildings, open spaces, play areas, and community spaces are places our residents can be proud of. You’ll be the person who keeps everything running smoothly — from overseeing maintenance and inspections to making sure contractors deliver the high standards our community expects.

You’ll bring a strong focus on safety and compliance, ensuring our assets are well‑managed, well‑maintained, and welcoming. You’ll keep our records, contracts, and maintenance schedules in good order, and you’ll play a key role in helping us maintain our Green Flag award at Phillimore Recreation Ground.

Day to day, you’ll work closely with our Open Spaces Team Leader and Admin Officer – Open Spaces to coordinate work across the parish, support improvement projects, and champion sustainability and biodiversity across our sites.

Alongside your operational responsibilities, you’ll also act as Deputy to the Chief Officer — supporting reports, statutory records, working parties, and stepping in when needed to ensure the Council continues to run smoothly. You’ll attend some evening meetings and provide clerking support for Working Parties when required.

This is a hands‑on, varied, and rewarding role where no two days are the same — ideal for someone who enjoys operational leadership, problem‑solving, and making a visible difference in the community.

About You

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Strong experience in facilities, open spaces, estates, or asset management
• Confidence in health & safety, inspections, and compliance
• Experience managing contractors and monitoring service delivery
• The ability to lead staff, coordinate workloads, and maintain high standards
• Excellent communication skills and a calm, professional approach
• A commitment to community‑focused service delivery
• Flexibility to attend evening meetings and support Council events
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

A background in local government, project management, or relevant professional qualifications (e.g., NEBOSH, facilities management, CiLCA) would be an advantage, but not essential.

Why Join Aldenham?

Aldenham Parish Council is proud of its:

• Award‑winning open spaces, including our Green Flag‑accredited Phillimore Recreation Ground
• Strong community identity and active programme of events
• Ambitious Business Plan and commitment to continuous improvement
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Real opportunity to shape the future of our facilities and services

You’ll be joining a council that values innovation, professionalism, and community impact — and you’ll play a key role in helping us deliver high‑quality services for residents across Radlett, Aldenham, Letchmore Heath, Patchetts Green and surrounding areas.
