Lay Employees
Before employing a lay worker you must complete an Authorisation to Recruit form and return it the District HR Officer.
On receipt of the completed form, a conversation will be arranged to talk through your proposal and agree a recruitment timeline.
After this meeting, the District HR Officer will seek the necessary approval for you to recruit from the Lay Employment Sub Committee.
In accordance with standing orders no job can be advertised and no appointment made unless approval is given by the Lay Employment Sub Committee (CPD 438A (5)).
Each District has their own recommended employment terms which, wherever possible, employing bodies are strongly encouraged to adopt:
Contractors/Self Employment
From time to time the District recognises that it is commercially appropriate for you to use the services of a self-employed contractor (i.e., a gardener, a window cleaner or a cleaning company).
If you are considering an appointment on self-employed terms we encourage you to have an early conversation with the District HR Officer to ensure that all necessary due diligence is completed.
