Minutes:

The Arts and Venues Manager submitted a report seeking approval for an additional Assistant Premises Manager post for Chesterfield Venues.

 

A review of the revised management and staffing structure implemented in October, 2018 had identified several challenges in the management of the venues. The report set out how the proposed additional part-time Assistant Premises Manager post, which would be recruited to on a fixed term basis for up to two years, would enable these challenges to be met. The job description and person specification for the proposed post were attached to the officer’s report at Appendix C.

 

The report provided detail on the financial implications of the proposed post, alternative options considered and the associated risks. It was noted that the proposal had been the subject of consultation with trade unions and relevant staff.
