Town Councillor (Voluntary)

Could you be one of the next voices helping to guide Diss? Michelle Denny Recruitment is supporting Diss Town Council as they look for two new Town Councillors to join their friendly team.

This is a voluntary role for people who care about Diss and want to play a meaningful part in shaping what happens here. From community projects and local facilities, to conversations about the town’s future, you’ll be adding your perspective where it truly counts. You don’t need previous council experience. If you’re thoughtful, community-minded and happy to learn, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

What you might get involved in:
• listening to residents and sharing local views
• discussing and guiding community projects and services
• attending council meetings and contributing to decisions
• helping ensure Diss continues to be a place people feel proud of

Who can apply?

You can usually stand as a Town Councillor if you:

• are 18 or over
• are a British, Irish, qualifying EU or eligible Commonwealth citizen
• and meet at least one of the following:
• live in Diss (or within 3 miles)
• are registered to vote in Diss
• work in Diss as your main or only place of work
• own or rent property in the town

If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we’re very happy to help check.
