To establish and recruit to a temporary part
time creditors post for a period of 12 months.
The gap in the creditors team left by the
shuffling of resources to cover the finance function following the
deletion of the AD finance post has been covered to date through an
agency on a week to week basis.
The agency currently being used is no longer providing short term
agency staff and this arrangement will end on 27 October. A number
of other agencies have been contacted and no suitable replacements
have been found.
The resource is needed to ensure that the service can continue to
function, without it the service will be severely restricted. The
post is for 12 months whilst a resolution is sought re the
aforementioned gap in resources.
This will cost £14k and can be funded within existing
resources.
The only alternative is to find suitable
agency cover but this has already been tried
unsuccessfully.
