Questions and Answers about Hampshire County Council

Went for job here and the hours they wanted me to work had no work life balance .

About my qualification and experience.

Obtain frank (anonymous?) feedback from staff at the 'front line' and strive to ensure management becomes more accountable and supportive of their hard-working colleagues. Having fantastic policies on H.R. is pointless when these are not applied consistently.

That's HCC's biggest problem is not using successful temps.I have successfully completed a number of office based assignments in Winchester and would be happy to be permanent. But instead of employing tried and tested people they start from scratch again expecting candidates to completer a separate application for each vacancy rather than draw from a pool of proven people. Most potential candidates put off by the onerous form filling for each vacancy. The private sector always maintains a pool of good prospects so that even candidates not selected initially can be contacted as more vacancies arise. The council are too full of PC ideaology and not delivering a cost effective service for Council Tax payers.
