Decision details
THE APPOINTMENT OF A CHAUFFEUR ON A CASUAL BASIS AT 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 relief
Chauffeur at NEDDC on a casual contract to work Mon-Sun as and when
required at £8.25 / hour.
The cost will be met by the savings arising from the vacancy in
respect of one of the three Caretakers posts.
Reasons for the decision:
The Caretaking service at NEDDC will be
reduced from three to two members of staff from 18th June when one
of the current caretakers retires. While the Council considers its
options it is necessary to put in place appropriate arrangements
for additional support to cover chauffeuring should this be
necessary. The appointment of a casual chauffeur will enable us to
cover any shortfalls which arise and maintain the service currently
provided.
Alternative options considered:
The longer term options in respect of the
service are currently under review. In the short term it is,
however, clear that additional resources are necessary if the
service is to be maintained especially during annual leave/sickness
and busy periods throughout the year.
