Project agreements
Fixed-term terms for visiting tutors, freelance performers, artists, coaches, and event staff, with dates and deliverables that make sense.
Specialist HR support in Laois
HR for the people who educate, inspire, and entertain.
Brennan Work Solutions helps childcare centres, private colleges, arts groups, theatres, and sports clubs put clear people practices in place. Your work is distinctive. Your contracts and policies should be too.
People practices with care
Safeguarding, sessional work, visiting staff, and project contracts need careful handling. We make the rules usable for the people who run your programme.
Childcare and education
Vetting and contracts that fit the working day.
Childcare HR Laois support has to reflect real rotas, term dates, substitutions, and safeguarding duties. Brennan Work Solutions sets out who does what, when checks are renewed, and how managers respond when a concern is raised.
The paperwork becomes easier to manage.
Practical framework
Vetting and contracts Ireland
- Garda vetting and police clearance records for employees, volunteers, and relevant placement workers.
- Contracts that cover ECCE session hours, term-time patterns, relief cover, and substitution arrangements.
- Child protection, mandatory reporting, and code of behaviour policies written for daily use.
- Clear onboarding steps for Montessori teams, tutors, administrators, and visiting professionals.
Private colleges and training providers
HR for private colleges needs an academic rhythm.
Staff reviews should line up with teaching blocks, enrolment periods, and quality checks. We set out fair processes for academic staff, QA reviewers, placement coordinators, and administration teams.
Contracts for varied academic teams
Use clear terms for full-time and part-time lecturers, visiting tutors, reviewers, and support staff.
Reviews linked to the calendar
Plan check-ins before teaching periods, with a proper review after the relevant course or term has finished.
International faculty and placements
Set responsibilities for induction, documentation, supervision, and communication with placement partners.
Creative and sporting organisations
Contracts for work that changes by season.
Arts organisation HR support must respect creative ownership, rehearsal patterns, and project deadlines. Sports club HR policies need the same clarity around coaches, volunteers, fixtures, and conduct.

Contract areas we put in order
Creative ownership
Intellectual property clauses that explain who can use scripts, teaching materials, recordings, designs, and other creative outputs.
Seasonal operations
Scheduling, cancellation, absence, and conduct rules for theatre runs, summer programmes, sports seasons, and community events.
Performance systems
Reviews that respect professional judgement.
Educators and artists need useful feedback, not a score that misses the work. We build review systems around observation, evidence, reflection, and agreed goals.
Good conversations come first.
Educator focus
- Observation-based feedback for early years educators.
- Goals linked to child development, planning, and team practice.
- Review notes that support learning rather than fault-finding.
Creative focus
- Peer review and portfolio evidence for artists and tutors.
- Goals that balance artistic quality with sound planning.
- Space for reflection after a production, course, or season.
A review cycle people can follow
Agree the standard, gather relevant evidence, hold the conversation, and record the next step. The same structure works across colleges, childcare teams, arts organisations, and clubs.
A clear next step
