Our charity is a Registered Provider and has thirteen properties which were refurbished in 2011, partly with a grant from the then HCA.
I have Clerked for the charity for seventeen years in a self employed capacity so I am concerned as to where I stand with regard to the new qualifications.
I am too ‘long in the tooth’ to consider taking such a qualification, and fear that any Clerks who replace me in the future may use the opportunity to obtain the qualification, which obviously would be funded by the charity, and to springboard themselves into a better paid position in a larger organisation.
This really would leave the charity in a difficult position long term.
We could deregister as an RP but we are very worried about the possibility of having to repay our original grant.
I’d appreciate hearing from any members in a similar situation. Thank you, Sian
