Advisory service

Parish and town councils increasingly take on broader responsibilities, providing essential services to their communities. This growth underscores the need for robust human resources (HR) management to support these efforts effectively. Ensuring parish and town councils have well-trained, competent staff is essential, and strategic HR practices are key to recruiting, developing, and retaining top talent. With effective HR management, parish and town councils can maintain the quality and sustainability of their services and activities.

We have partnered with WorkNest to provide free and confidential advisory services to parish and town councils. WorkNest is a powerhouse of employment law, HR, and health and safety support services and is the established leader in providing services to parish and town councils.

WorkNest helps you achieve safe, legally compliant, and efficient outcomes. This proactive and personalised service comes with pragmatic advice from highly motivated, committed and qualified professionals. Support is designed to help you prevent problems, resolve issues that arise and ensure regulatory compliance so you can focus on what you do best.

Our members can access the WorkNest service through their county association. This support comes from their HR advisers or through local arrangements managed by county associations.
