Joint Human Resource Director Position Posted ? Bob's Blog
The Human Resource Director position for the Borough of Naugatuck and Naugatuck Board of Education (?BoE?) was recently posted on February 3, 2012. ?The job posting can be viewed here. ?Potential applicants have until Friday, February 17, 2012, to submit applications. ?The posting represents an attempt at further collaboration between the Borough and the BoE with regard to common business functions.
The Borough?s former Human Resource Director, Jeannette Deschesnes, recently retired. ?Ms. Deshesnes played a critical role in shaping our Human Resource Department, which is a relatively new function of Borough government. ?We would like to thank Ms. Deschesnes for her years of professional service to the Borough and establishing the strong foundation for the department?s growth. ?We wish her much success and happiness in all her future endeavors.
Prior to her retirement, Ms. Deschesnes had been investigating possibilities for combining the Director position with the BoE. ?While various individuals in the BoE business office perform human resource tasks, our school district has never had a true director to oversee employment matters. ?While recommendations were made to create such a position, limited resources were devoted to more pressing, educational needs.
Upon learning of the vacancy resulting from Ms. Deschesnes? retirement, talks between Borough and BoE representatives have accelerated to combine the position for mutual benefit. ?Over the past two (2) years, the Borough?s Comptroller has been the BoE?s business manager. ?Using this model, the current proposal anticipates a similar arrangement for a Human Resource Director with one (1) significant distinction. ?Given the fact that the BoE has approximately twice as many employees as the municipal government, the new Human Resource Director would be a BoE employee located at the Tuttle Building (eventually at the renovated high school when BoE offices are relocated there in the next few years).
An interview committee comprised of both municipal and educational representatives will oversee the selection of potential candidates. ?Attorney Nick Grello, who represents both the Borough and BoE on labor and employment matters, will assist with the process. ?Once a finalist is selected, employment will be subject to standard background checks and the successful negotiation of an employment agreement between the individual and the BoE. ?The Borough would retain the position of Human Resource Associate in Town Hall. ?It is anticipated that the Borough will reimburse the BoE a stipend similar to what the BoE pays to the Borough for the business manager arrangement.
The BoE will discuss this matter at its regular meeting scheduled for this Thursday, February 9, 2012, 7:00 PM, at Maple Hill Elementary School. ?The Board of Mayor and Burgesses was updated on the job posting for a new Human Resource Director at this past Tuesday?s (2/7/2012) meeting. ?While there are a few towns in the state that have utilized this joint arrangement, the proposal is relatively unique to Connecticut local government. ?Difficult economic times, however, require creativity to maximize resources and improve operations. ?I would like to thank BoE Chair David Heller and Superintendent Dr. John Tindall-Gibson for there time and commitment to exploring this arrangement. ?I look forward to discussing the plan in greater detail with my colleagues on the BoE.
As stated in the job posting, interested applicants should submit their respective resume, cover letter, completed employment application and salary history to the following: ?Borough of Naugatuck, Attention: Carmella Rinaldi, Human Resource Associate, 229 Church Street, Naugatuck, CT 06770. ?All submissions are due by Friday, February 17, 2012. ?Any questions may be directed to Ms. Rinaldi at crinaldi@naugatuck-ct.gov (email) and 203-720-7003 (phone). ?Employment applications are available here, or may be obtained by visiting the Borough?s Human Resource Department in the basement of Town Hall (229 Church Street, Naugatuck, ?CT ?06770) between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM. ?The Borough of Naugatuck and Naugatuck Board of Education are equal opportunity / affirmative action employers.
