Obtaining authority to recruit
Authorisation to recruit is required from any confirmed Extended Leadership Team (ELT) officer in Cumberland Council from 1 April 2023.
Please ensure you obtain authority to recruit before requesting your role is advertised. Fill in the below Vacancy Authorisation Form (HR01) and send it to your Assistant Director.
As there is an ongoing recruitment freeze in place, as agreed by SLT, once your Assistant Director is able to agree your recruitment, they need to email the HR01 to Becky Charters and ask for it to be taken to the next SLT meeting for group approval.
Email: becky.charters@cumberland.gov.uk
No roles will be advertised without SLT approval. Any requests raised asking to recruit for roles that haven’t been given SLT approval will be automatically closed.
After your post is approved
When SLT approves the role to be recruited, it will be passed on to the Resourcing Team to action and the resourcing partner for your directorate will get in touch to take it forward.
Authorisation to recruit is valid for four months from when the approval is given.
