Proposed Staffing Changes to Homelessness and Housing Register Services |
Further to Minute CB 07/120 of the Cabinet meeting of 21 November 2007, the report of the Director of Health and Housing set out the proposed new staffing resources needed to deliver in-house housing register and homelessness assessment services currently provided under contract by Russet Homes. It was proposed to increase the current staffing level by an additional seven full-time posts to reflect the new responsibilities placed on the Council in delivering such services, two existing staff being eligible to fill some of the posts. Members were assured that the new staffing structure would be in place before the expiry of the contract with Russet Homes. RECOMMENDED: That (1) the proposed staffing structure for the housing needs team be endorsed; (2) the job descriptions for the new positions as set out at Annex 3 to the report be endorsed; and (3) the financial implications arising from the restructure be endorsed and factored into the Medium Term Financial Strategy. *Referred to Council |
