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.
