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.
