Clerical relief pool
What is the clerical relief pool?
The clerical relief pool is Wolverhampton City Council’s in-house temping agency. We provide the Council with a bank of competent and experienced clerical workers who are flexible enough to step in at a moment’s notice to support the services we deliver.
Why should I join?
The clerical relief pool gives its members the opportunity to experience what it is like to work for the Council on a temporary basis whilst receiving the same benefits as permanent members of Council staff. These include:
- Flexible working hours
- Paid holiday from the start of your first contract
- Paid bank holidays
- Full-time and part-time positions
- Eligibility to apply for internal vacancies
The clerical relief pool gives experienced clerical staff the opportunity to develop their skills further, try new areas of work and realise their potential.
