Barbican Estate Office - Restructure Update

 

Report of the Executive Director, Community and Children’s Services.

Minutes:

 

The Committee received a report of the Executive Director, Community and Children’s Services in respect of the restructuring of the Barbican Estate Office.

 

The Assistant Director responded to questions regarding management layers, in particular supervisory roles. These were frontline roles with four-six hours per week of holiday/sickness absence management. Job holders would still be fulfilling their cleaning or concierge duties. Career progression and a gateway for staff into the BEO was envisaged.  Car Park Attendants and Lobby Porters would be retitled ‘Estate Concierge’. The name change reflecting that over time their responsibilities had extended. The Deputy Chair wondered if those taking on supervisory roles would receive the appropriate training required and it was confirmed that they would be appropriately trained and receive the necessary equipment to carry out works required.

 

RESOLVED, that – the report and its contents be noted.
