POA Circulars

NIGHT ORDERLY OFFICERS
Supervising Officers cannot act as night managers, due to their fair and sustainable job descriptions and JES scoring. The NEC have never agreed to any changes that allow Band 4 staff to act as Night Orderly Officers.
A number of disputes were raised at the time but these were put on hold as the much heralded Nights Review was meant to address the POA’s concerns, however we are still awaiting the publication of this Review. If your establishment is considering changing the Nights Orderly Officer from Band 5 to Band 4 the NEC advise that you immediately inform your area NEC Representative and enter into dispute on this issue as per PSO 8525.
For and on behalf of the National Executive.
Yours sincerely
MARK FAIRHURST
National Chair
