That the Support Services Manager be authorised to implement the proposed restructure of the Personal Assistants.

The Support Services Manager submitted a report for Members to consider proposals for a revised structure of the Personal Assistants providing a secretarial service to the Chief Executive, the Senior Leadership Team, the Housing Management Team and Service Managers.

The duties and responsibilities of the four Personal Assistant posts had been re-examined, resulting in revised job descriptions and job evaluation scores for two of the posts. A revised proposed structure for the Personal Assistant posts was detailed in the report, it being noted that further changes may be required once the Corporate Management Team restructure had been completed.

Consultation had been undertaken with the staff affected by these proposals and their Trade Union representatives, and the human resources, equalities and financial implications were detailed in the report, along with an assessment of the risks associated with the proposals and actions to mitigate these.

It was confirmed that existing arrangements to support the Housing Management Team and Service Managers would continue pending any further changes resulting from the Corporate Management Team restructure.

RESOLVED –

That the Support Services Manager be authorised to implement the proposed restructure of the Personal Assistants.

REASON FOR DECISION

To recognise the duties and responsibilities carried out by the Personal Assistants and for the appropriate remuneration to be made to those staff.
