Schools Personnel Services
The Schools Personnel team offers a comprehensive
service to school managers and staff, including
recruitment, appointments, interpretation and
application of national and local conditions of
service, variations to contracts and advice on
employment policy.
Employee Relations
The Employee Relations team is concerned with
supporting schools in the effective management of
staff in terms of good practice and statutory
requirements. The team members offer headteachers
and governors advice on the practical application
of Human Resource policies adopted by the
Governing Body; eg: grievance, discipline,
capability / competence and managing staff
sickness. Members of the team act as the
representative of the Strategic Director to advise
Governing Body Committees at formal hearings. The
team also provides the link between schools and
Legal Services on employee relations matters and
provides support to Headteachers at Employment
Tribunals.
Single Status
The Single Status Agreement was negotiated between
the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local
Government services and Local Government Trades
Unions. It covers the jobs held by employees whose
terms and conditions of employment are set by the
National Joint Council for Local Government
Services. The purpose of the agreement is to
enable the city council to review its pay and
grading structures to assess that they are fair
and equitable. Further information related to
schools will be signposted here as it becomes
available.
