If by "deputy clerk" you mean the person designated in policy document ( or standing orders) as to the person who would take over the clerks duties in the event of illness or resignation ( or even death ) then this is a stand by position until the vacancy is, as stated, advertised and filled.

Having such a delegation contingency in standing orders is an excellent way of ensuring the continued smooth running of the PC until a new clerk is employed

The best practice is to advertise but with internal staff being made aware they can ofcourse apply hence open, honest and fair.

if a clerk resigns, does the deputy clerk get his job or do a parish council have to advertise the position.
