Advertised today in the lical press:
Electoral Registration Assistant 16,215 – 17,333
“This section is responsible for compiling the Electoral Register, which will include the new challenges presented by the transition to Individual Electoral Registration and also the delivery of elections held in East Devon”
Closing date: 19 September 2014
The “new challenges” are actually quite old, EDDC having known they needed to prepare for this for several years.
It asks for at least GCSE Grade 3 English, where one hopes that the successful candidate might avoid the phrase “delivery of elections held in East Devon” which makes it sound rather like a supermarket delivery of groceries!
Stable door … horses … bolting … let’s hope it’s not too late.
East Devon Watch 
I am unclear whether they are saying that compiling the Electoral Register includes running elections (??) or whether (in general) running elections in East Devon is a challenge?? Either way it is weird.
Even weirder when you consider that this is a fixed term contract ending this year without any prospect of an election during the period of employment.
Should I offer another (very small) prize for the most imaginative explanation of what it means or why they included it in the advert?
