Get the right people to run the service
Now that you have a project team and know what the service users need from the service (step 5), you can start appointing the service providers.
Your considerations
Do you already have people with the appropriate expertise within your central team to deliver the service? For example, if centralising finance, do you have anyone with financial expertise already in your central team? If so, this is who you should appoint.
If you don't have the right level of expertise in your team, you might need to hire someone (to your central team) to do this. This could mean either:
- Making an internal hire (of someone who already works for your trust but not in the central team, e.g. if you have an HR manager in one of your schools); or
- Hiring someone externally
