Refer a friend to work at ESCC
Through this scheme, employees who introduce a friend to specified certain roles across the council can in return receive a £250 payment.
Individual job adverts will say whether or not a vacancy is part of the refer a friend scheme. If your friend is successfully appointed to an eligible vacancy, you will receive a £250 after they have completed three months in post. Your friend will also receive £250 after completing a year in post.
In order to be eligible to receive a refer a friend payment, you must be directly employed by East Sussex County Council (ESCC) and on ESCC conditions of service, or work for the Council via a casual worker agreement.
The scheme does not apply to:
-
Agency workers, external contractors, Elected Members, or anyone who is not an employee of the County Council.
-
Members of staff who are directly involved in the recruitment process, such as the shortlisting/interview panel.
How does the person I am referring apply for a post?
Applicants simply need to submit their application for a vacancy marked as being part of the refer a friend scheme on the job advert, and confirm on their application that they saw the vacancy due to your referral.
How do I receive a referral payment?
Once your friend has been successfully employed and completed three months’ service, the Employee Services team will contact the relevant manager and arrange for the referral payment to be made.
How does the person I refer receive their payment?
New employees referred via the scheme receive their £250 payment after completing a year’s service in post.
