Paying Staff and Hiring Services

Last updated 11 May 2026

4th Ashby will only employ staff or hire services to fulfil specific tasks that are
  • outside the remit of a volunteer
  • where we are unable to find a volunteer to manage the activities
 

Paid Staff for Project work

  • Where 4th Ashby hires a person to do a specific task, then a Project Supporter Agreement form will be completed and signed by the GLV and Chair, stating the project work outline and remuneration available.  
  • At the end of the year, the Treasurer will provide the Project worker with a Statement of Services.
  • Before anyone is employed, the Scout Association must be contacted to see if an up-to-date Project Supporter form is available.
 

Hired Services

Every effort must be made to avoid a Conflict of Interest (see policy) when sourcing services; however, if a conflict is unavoidable, then approval by the Board of Trustees/Chair must be gained.
