Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council Responsi
OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF TYNWALD PARTICULARS OF POST Post: Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council Responsible to: Clerk of Tynwald (but see paragraph 5 below) Responsible for: Third Clerk of Tynwald; Head of Chamber and Information Service; Head of Hansard Salary: £60,780 to £70,834 Closing date: Monday 7th June 2021 BACKGROUND 1. Tynwald is the parliament of the Isle of Man and has unlimited, though not exclusive, legislative competence. It has three Chambers: the 24-member House of Keys, which is popularly elected; the 11-member Legislative Council, which is for the most part elected by the House of Keys; and the 35-member Tynwald Court, comprised of the first two Chambers (referred to as the “Branches of Tynwald”) sitting together. 2. The Office of the Clerk of Tynwald is an organisation of around 25 people with annual net expenditure of around £2 million. (This figure excludes Members’ emoluments.) The Office aims to deliver services of the highest quality to Tynwald and the public, while maintaining a reputation for excellence both on and off the Isle of Man. Despite Tynwald’s tricameral structure, the Office operates as a single organisation providing support to all three Chambers. 3. The Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council will play a pivotal role at the heart of the Office’s senior management team. The postholder will be at the front line in delivering procedural advice and drafting services to parliamentary Chambers and Committees, and in managing Committee inquiries. The postholder will also lead delivery and development across the full range of the Office’s services to Members and the public, exploiting technology to improve efficiency while motivating staff and engaging positively with stakeholders and customers. -

And as the Manx in our blood thins out, we now welcome a new group of members, those who have come to love the Isle of Man for itself. To those members, we are delighted you have made the trip to discover what it is we find special about this unique and beautiful place. SE41 £6.60 Thank you for making the journey back.
