1. Specialized Expertise: We understand the distinctive challenges faced by Town and Parish Councils when it comes to people. I have over 20 years HR experience and have in-depth knowledge of the local government. I have successfully assisted Councils in optimizing their HR practices and complying with relevant regulations.

2. Tailored Solutions: I recognize that each Town and Parish Council has its own specific needs and priorities. My HR services are customisable to align with your organisational structure, policies, and objectives. Whether you require assistance with recruitment, employee relations, training, or policy development, I can create a bespoke solution that fits your requirements perfectly.

3. Compliance and Legal Support: As a Council, it's crucial to ensure compliance with complex employment laws and regulations. I stay up-to-date with the latest legislation and will guide you through the legal landscape, minimizing the risk of non-compliance. From drafting employment contracts to handling disciplinary matters, I'll provide you with the necessary support and ensure your practices are legally sound.

4. Efficiency and Cost Savings: By outsourcing your HR functions to me, you can achieve significant cost savings compared to maintaining an in-house HR team or individual. My streamlined processes and economies of scale allow me to offer cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. You'll have access to a dedicated HR professional who's experience includes being an HR Director ready to handle your needs promptly and efficiently.

5. Strategic People Planning: Effective people management goes beyond day-to-day operations. We can work closely with your Council to develop long-term HR strategies that align with your goals. From succession planning to performance management, we'll help you foster a positive and productive work environment while ensuring you have the right talent in place for future growth.
