Staffing
The Land Registry maintains a well-trained, highly flexible
team of staff. Civil servants form the core staff of the Land
Registry to ensure stability in the organisation and quality of
service to customers. Non-civil Service Contract (NCSC) staff
are employed to supplement the core staff thus enabling the
department to respond to changes in operational or business
needs in the most cost-effective manner.
As at 31 March 2010, the Land Registry employed 456
permanent staff and 141 NCSC staff. The permanent staff
comprise officers in various grades including LROs, Solicitors,
Treasury Accountants, Analyst/Programmers and general
grades staff. They are supplemented by NCSC staff including Land Registration Executives, Solicitors, Accounting
Executives, IT staff and contract clerks. The Land Registry reviews its staffing position and adjusts the number of
NCSC staff regularly to meet operational needs.
