Looking for weekend work in Lancashire area.

[Asplen]

Hi guys.

 

Currently working for Bolton MBC as a tree officer, looking for some practical work at weekends for experience and a bit of extra cash/make contacts.

 

If anyone has casual groundie/climber work they need at weekends or possibly other days drop me a PM, can travel a bit too so if it's just outside lancs etc get in touch either way.

How do you square this with your employer?

 

Do you think there is a conflict of interest taking coin from contractors who you may have to deal with in your “day job”

[Asplen]

I declare it at work on the record - also tenders and contracts are handled specifically by the contracts manager who is removed from the TOs area of work and i'm there for 12 months on placement as part of my degree, of which i'm 7 months in so I don't see any problem with it.

Do you deal with TPO's?

If you work within the area of your TO duties I would call it a conflict of interest

No there is a TPO & woodland officer for that.

 

You could rather call me "Student who does surveying for council under the title of Junior TO" than what is an actual TO - Bolton MBC is strange I think in that their section has 5 people for TO duties, Head of section, section assistant, tpo and woodland officer, and 2 placements - one of which I fill.

 

Fair enough Pete; i'll have to see what is permissable and not of course in the fine print. If it's a no go then I'll either stay at BMBC or hold my nose and jump when there is no conflict of interest.

Now that’s an entirely different thing to “working for Bolton MBC as a tree officer” Well that’s that cleared up, now lets talk about Tax...Only kidding:001_cool:

Quite - sorry for that reading it back it appears pretty cock-like I just am one as far as a complainee from the public is concerned and was autopiloting...
