Glasshouse services
Glasshouse services are provided through
three basic delivery models: shared-staff, onsite staff and
consultants. The three models are described below:
Shared-staff model
The shared-staff model allows small charities to access
precisely the number of hours of expert staff time they
need, to perform a variety of core administrative and
financial functions.
We offer shared-staff at rates below market because
we negotiate favourable rates with our service providers.
We save our clients the time and challenges associated
with recruitment and training for these functions. Clients
gain from the charity expertise that they might not
otherwise be able to afford and from the stability and
consistency offered by our services.
Shared-staff contracts offer the opportunity
to implement best practices models in information management and
financial reporting, which are critical to accountability. They will
provide an entry point for the introduction of capacity assessments and
additional Glasshouse resources.
On-site model
As the capacity of our clients grows, we
expect to encounter situations where full-time staff is required either
temporarily or permanently. Temporary placements are filled with
Glasshouse staff members, and for permanent placements, we offer
recruitment and training services so as to ensure that the value of our
best practices model is passed on to new staff.
Consultants
Glasshouse consultants bring a wide variety
of skills in diverse aspects of capacity, including legal, management,
human resources, financial, fundraising, information technology,
communications and government relations.
