Staff membership

Staff membership is open to staff who are on a permanent or temporary contract for at least 12 months. Staff membership is sub-divided into 5 groups, called classes, which are as follows:

  • Corporate
  • Forensic
  • County Durham and Darlington
  • Teesside
  • North Yorkshire

The new staff classes are based on either the area a member of staff works in or in the case of Corporate or Forensic, the Directorate that they are employed within. 

If you are a member of staff and are uncertain about which class you are eligible for, or have been allocated to, please contact Kathryn Ord on 01325 552307 and she will be happy to discuss this with you.
