People and Processes Training

This course will offer clergy and PCC members information, guidance and best practice when employing and managing staff in their church (including administrators, youth or family workers, caretakers or other paid staff).

Being or becoming an employer can seem daunting but the key is to get the basics right. In the HR team we want to help our parishes to navigate the administrative and legislative burdens that employing staff can bring, understanding that it’s difficult to keep up with legislative changes and the ever-increasing complexities of being an employer. This course will cover the basics in an easy to understand, interactive format including the use of short videos and case studies within a parish context. We will provide a range of resource templates as well as signposting for more complex queries.
