*****Update Day 35 of a 90 day consultation with Capita

15th November 2013 admin Local

Some good news, the current IT service consultation is a little different to the other service consultations in that there is a possibility that some new posts could be created. It all depends on internal discussions with Barnet Council about IT projects which are badly needed in Adult Social Services and Children’s Services to name a few. Everyone working in these services has been waiting to hear when a new system will be implemented. Interestingly the recent controversy about £16.1 million IT investment does not cover this badly needed work hence the negotiations on the cost of this project work. We are hoping to hear next week if agreement on price is agreed in order to deliver this badly needed IT transformation; in which case there could be job opportunities for staff currently at risk of redundancy.
