Norwich City Council is looking for local residents to join an Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP), which makes recommendations to the council on the type and level of allowances paid to city councillors.
About the role
The work involves carrying out a review of the existing allowances scheme, taking into account changes to the roles and responsibilities of city councillors. The panel will meet (typically one review every 1 to 2 years) to gather information and prepare reports with recommendations for consideration by full Council.
The role usually involves a time commitment of up to 6 meetings (usually by Teams) during the course of any review (an allowance of £600 plus travel expenses is provided per review subject to council approval). The appointment will be for a period of four years, with the opportunity for re-appointment for a further four years.
Additional Information
A briefing pack is available giving more details about what’s involved. If you are interested in joining the IRP and would like an informal discussion, please contact the council’s monitoring officer, Jan Robinson at Jan.Robinson@norwich.gov.uk
