TDC has been asked to host the role of a
Communications Lead to support promotion of North Essex Economic
Board's (NEEB) support programmes. NEEB is not an
organisation/employer in its own right and therefore relies on
partners to employ roles.
TDC’s Corporate Plan has Community Leadership at its heart,
with a particular focus on joined up public services for the
benefit of residents (which this project does), and on being part
of effective services for improved public health.
As a key partner within NEEB, and providing the Communications
Manager function, TDC is signed up through its Memorandum of
Understanding to support NEEB objectives and help it to operate in
the way that it does, using host organisations.
Board members at NEEB have agreed £30,000 funding for
marketing support, and it is intended to provide this through a
fixed-term, 12-month, part-time post, to be hosted by TDC.
This decision is in principle; the funding will not be accepted
without a legal agreement ensuring that NEEB covers any on costs
incurred which are not covered by the provided funding.
This proposal is supported by the Chief Financial Officer and
Management Team; in line with the Financial Procedure Rules on
External Funding.
A letter of concurrence has also been received from the Portfolio
Holder for Business and Economic Growth (who is also TDC's
appointee to the NEEB).
