Purpose

Apprenticeship Scheme

Content

RESOLVED –
 
1.   That the addition of a two year Level 2 Horticulture and Landscape
Construction Operative to the establishment be
approved.
 
2.    That a maximum of £48396 additional
budget to cover the cost of the apprenticeship over 2
years be approved. 
 
REASONS FOR DECISIONS -
 
1. To mitigate against future loss of
talent and experience.

 
2.  An additional staff member, primarily
committed to the grounds would release other staff when required to
concentrate on Funeral Services and relieve the stress placed upon
the team.
 
3. An Apprenticeship at the Crematorium would be
an exciting opportunity for a person to receive high quality
training in a rewarding and interesting service.  Whilst the focus would be on grounds maintenance,
opportunities to learn about administration, technical and front of
house duties would be offered.

 
4.  The addition of an apprentice would
also add further resilience to the service during times of excess
deaths and pandemic.
