Creation of Full Time Oldham Safeguarding Partnership Business Support Grade 3 Position

Following the departure of a 0.5 Grade 2 Business Support Officer and 0.5 Grade 3 Business Support Officer the OSCP Partnership Manager has reviewed the administrative capacity within the Unit.
It is proposed that the vacant Grade 2 post is deleted, and the resources used to create a full time Grade 3 position.
The reason for the creation of a full-time Grade 3 position is that the Business Support Officer needs to be appropriately skilled and experienced to support the statutory work of the Partnership including support in the production of performance reports.
There are sufficient funds within the Partnership Budget to meet the additional costs of the full-time role.
However, we are looking to slightly increase (approx. 4%) the income from the school SLAs for safeguarding training in line with the cost of living. This will generate at least £4000 extra in-year.
