Issue details

The working arrangements of staff within the transactional team of the service currently equated to only 6FTE that work full time 37 hours a week and 1FTE who is on long term absence with no indication of return. The rest are either part time, term time etc.

Along with this there is also the added pressure of those in the transactional who need upskilling to ensure all can cover tasks required of the service such as PRP purchasing.

The additional members of staff will ensure that there is capacity to cover the requirements of the service until the service is fully established as well as meet the additional requirements some teams have to clear backlogs of work due to absence.
