THE APPOINTMENT OF A REFURBISHMENT OPERATIVE ON A CASUAL BASIS TO NEDDC

Decision Maker: Managing Director

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The recruitment/appointment of a Refreshment Operative at NEDDC on a casual contract to work Mon-Sun as and when required at £8.25 / hour.

The cost will be met by a retirement of the current Refreshment Operative.

Reasons for the decision:

Due to current Refreshment Operative at NEDDC retiring, it may be necessary at times to seek additional support to cover large meetings within the Council Offices. The appointment of a casual Refreshment Operative will enable us to cover these shortfalls and maintain the service provided by the remaining caretakers.

Alternative options considered:

Remove the service altogether. This would compromise the service offered especially during annual leave/sickness and busy periods throughout the year.

To replace the retiring Refreshment Operative and maintain the full service provision currently in place. This option would remove the opportunity to make efficiency savings within the service.
