DURHAM County Council is looking for volunteers to serve on its overview and scrutiny committees as non-voting co-optees and parent governor representatives.
Two non-voting co-optees are needed for each of the council’s five overview and scrutiny committees – adults, wellbeing and health; safer and stronger communities; economy and enterprise; children and young people; and environment and sustainable communities.
Co-optees serve for two years and have the opportunity to help develop new ways of working, review existing policies and challenge the performance of the authority and its key partners.
Applicants will need to go through a formal selection process, with interviews due to take place in May.
The county council is also looking for two people to serve as parent governor representatives on its Children and Young People’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
For more information, or to apply for a position, telephone 03000-268-141 or email scrutiny@durham.gov.uk
