Christian Vincent - Advice on the recruiting process for town and parish councils
My experience includes supporting clients including
Councils, Charities and Private organisations. I have over 15 years’ experience
working with organisations in the private and third sectors, including high
street names.
I have wide experience in HR, ranging from supporting Councils and Councillors to strategically review the organisation, to supporting managers with complex employee relations cases. My focus is on finding the right solution for the organisation taking all relevant factors into account. I have supported Town and Parish Councils across the UK for the past five years and worked to support them through a variety of challenges and opportunities.
