Cottered and Throcking Parish Council have been carrying out a recruitment process over the last six weeks to secure a new Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) to the Council due to the resignation of the current Clerk and RFO Denise Anderson.

The vacancy was advertised via the Cottered Village Facebook page, Parish noticeboards, Cottered and Throcking Parish Council website, Hertfordshire Association of Parish and Town Councils (HAPTC) weekly email bulletin and vacancies page of their website. In addition all local Parish Council Clerks were emailed and advised of the vacancy.

Two interested candidates came forward and Sarah Kubica pursued the application and was felt to be a suitable candidate. After an interview, her acceptance of the role and an Extraordinary Parish Council meeting on 27th July 2023 to formally appoint a new Clerk & RFO Sarah will start on 1st August 2023.

The Council acknowledges that the current Cottered and Throcking News carries an advertisment for the vacancy, which has now been filled as it was important for the Council to endeavour to secure a new Clerk before the end of the notice period of the outgoing Clerk.
