Dear all,
Our members have made many comments direct to managers across the new department and we do not intend to repeat those comments in this response.
However, we wish to place on record that:
- Many of our members across the new department still cannot readily see from the job descriptions where their current work is to be done in the new structure which makes it difficult to comment in detail on the proposed job descriptions. This is a common complaint from members in IT but does affect posts in the other three divisions.
- Members are still concerned about the proposal to use generic job descriptions that fail to recognise the great many specialist roles that are carried out.
- In some groups, such as Communities Assets & Administration team, meetings to discuss job descriptions have not been arranged until after the official end date for consultation today. This means that some members are unable to comment before today's deadline.
- In other groups, local negotiations are continuing beyond today's deadline to try to resolve issues on individual posts. In the main, this is due to problems with finding time in the diaries of the relevant managers. We expect these negotiations to be concluded before the Enabling process begins.
