Ongoing HR and Governance subscription support
A unique ongoing support package that includes all things HR as well as Local Council Governance such as the Freedom of Information Act 2000, GDPR and Local Government Act 1972. Our package includes the supply of tailored suite of Parish and Town Council HR Policies, staff handbook, a unique performance management and appraisal scheme, watertight master contracts of employment as well as unlimited support and advice, all for a very competitive annual fee depending upon how many employees you have. All our policies are kept up to date as the law changes being reviewed by our specialist Barrister partner. This alone can save your Council up to a hundred hours of time to keep on top of the ever-changing HR law and procedure.
​
Our subscription clients also receive a discount on our other services.
Dispute resolution & Investigations
We have significant experience of dealing with disputes within an organisation both between officers and Councillors. Our team includes a former Monitoring Officer with over 40 years Local Government experience. We will be able to quickly highlight the main issues for your organisation and present options to resolve matters. If required, we can then support the implementation of the actions required.
Settlement agreements
If relationships have become untenable or there is a loss of trust and confidence, we can take the pressure off all parties by managing the without prejudice conversations and thereafter drafting a suitable settlement agreement.
Performance management
Often poor performance can be rectified once the core issues are highlighted and addressed. We will do this for you and look to put in place any necessary performance measurements, as well as reviewing empowerment and motivation within the organisation.
Staff structure & efficiency review
Having an experienced independent review of your staff structure can highlight options and efficiencies that may not be otherwise apparent. Our significant experience in improving the operations and efficiency of a Council in this area will bring about improvements wherever they exist.
​
As part of this process, we will also analyse the council operations and on site will review council facilities and activities to enable us to include in our report efficiency improvements, as well as potential avenues for savings and income generation. Often these recommendations more than cover our fees to undertake the work.
Job evaluation
Fully trained in job evaluation we can ensure you are paying the correct salaries for your team and highlight where changes may need to be made. Also evaluate new posts to ensure they comply with your existing pay structure. We usually evaluate the posts in a council after completing a staff structure review.
Recruitment
With our wide range of contacts and experience in Local Government, we will maximise your potential candidates for any given vacancy and ensure a professional and open appointment process that showcases all that your Council has to offer.
Being the leading recruitment organisation in the Local Council sector, we have made over 100 appointments in 2023 & 2024 alone, we know how and where to market your vacancies. Councils often try to save funds with a DIY process which results in a poor quality of uptake and often an inappropriate appointment Our expertise ensures this does not happen.
We have gold, silver and bronze packages with a starting price of £400 (plus external advertisers fees).
