(1) To approve a part-time (one day a week) secondment of a
Democratic Services Officer (Post no. 32162) from Guildford to
provide committee support to Waverley’s Democratic Services
team for a temporary period of three months commencing the week
beginning Monday 22 April 2024.
(2) To approve a 10% uplift in the salary of Post no. 32162) for
the period of the secondment.

The cost to Waverley would be £1,958.

£35,593 x 1.1 (10% uplift) = £39,152
20% (representing one day a week) of £39,152 =
£7830
£7,830 divided by 12 = £652.54 per month
£652.54 x 3 months = £1,957.61

Reasons for the decision

The reasons for appointment are to ensure
cover within the service while minimising costs while Waverley
recruits to vacant posts in its Democratic Services team. This role
will provide experience, and expertise in committee management for
Waverley pending such recruitment.

Alternative options considered

Other options, such as external interim
appointments, would increase costs and not make the best use of the
expertise that we have.
