To seek Committee approval for the appointment of a new post to support the delivery of affordable housing. This post will attract an apprentice levy for further study within construction management to support Housing Delivery within the Asset Management and Development Service.

Cabinet considered a report which sought approval for the appointment of a new post to support the delivery of affordable housing. This post would attract an apprentice levy for further study within construction management to support Housing Delivery within the Asset Management and Development Service.

RESOLVED that the creation of a new post of Housing Delivery Trainee post in Capital Works (starting at Grade 6) at £37,450 per annum including on costs be approved, to be funded from the HRA Capital Programme.

Reason

The Council is committed to the apprenticeship programme through the Apprenticeship Strategy 2022-2024 and this would be an ideal opportunity to develop and support a trainee who is seeking to pursue further degree level study within the field of construction management and enable long term commitment and succession planning within the Housing Delivery function.
