Appointment of an Interim Parish Clerk
The Sub-Committee is invited to interview candidates for the appointment of an Interim Parish Clerk for Crewe Parish Council.
Minutes:
The Sub-Committee interviewed two candidates for the appointment of an Interim Parish Clerk for Crewe Parish Council. Both candidates currently served as town clerks for town councils in Cheshire East.
With regard to working arrangements, Members agreed that the Interim Clerk would be appointed for the period up to the Annual meeting of the new parish council; any continuation of the appointment beyond that would be a matter for the parish council. The Clerk would be expected to work an average of ten hours a week, primarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow for liaison with the Clerk to the Crewe Charter Trustees. The Interim Clerk would be paid by ChALC who would then seek reimbursement from the parish council. The Clerk would be expected to keep a record of the hours worked and to submit an invoice either direct to ChALC or to the Registration Service and Business Manager at Cheshire East. The Clerk’s salary grade would be based on his current grade as a parish clerk.
Each candidate was interviewed in turn, using a standard set of questions agreed by Members.
RESOLVED
That Mr Jonathan Williams, currently the Town Clerk to Middlewich Town Council, be offered the position of Interim Clerk to Crewe Parish Council.
