If your council is in need of temporary help, SALC can signpost you to professionals who are looking for additional work. Below are details of the simple steps your council needs to take as an employer to handle the creation of a contractual relationship with a temporary employee for a fixed period.
Search
Council resolves to recruit a locum and searches list of available clerks, Minutes taker or Amin/Finance Support
Enquire
Council completes the enquiry form and submits to SALC
CV
Council reviews CVs provided by SALC and liaises direct with candidate(s)
Interview
Council arranges interviews of selected candidate(s)
Offer
Council resolves to offer the position and informs successful candidate
Appoint
Council issues contract prior to locum start date
There is currently a shortage of locum available so the Council should take additional steps to secure the services of a locum clerk. This can include contacting neighbouring parishes to see if their clerk would be willing to help out on a temporary basis. Permanent positions can be advertised on the SALC website.
Register of locums
SALC will endeavour to keep this register of locums up to date and ask locums to inform them of any changes in their availability or capacity to undertake work. It is not SALC's responsibility to validate suitability for temporary vacancies, it is for the Council as employer to undertake all the necessary checks and comply with employment legislation in relation to recruitment. If your Council has a general query in relation to recruitment or any other HR or personnel matters, SALC can offer specialist advice.
