Im thinking about taking on my first employee as someone really great has sent me a CV - the wages bill isnt fortunes but I think I heard about some kind of grant you can get when you start taking on staff, does anyone know what this is?

Contact your local business link and contact job centre plus as they have schemes to help you with wages and training.

Contact your local Jobcentre. However this person must have been unemployed for a set period (I think 6 months) before you can get a grant. It will not cover the employee's full salary because the amount is 150GBP for part-time or 300GBP for full-time, plus a small training budget. It will also depend on the person's age, disability etc because there are different schemes for them.
Have a look at http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk
As you are taking on an employee for the first time I would be happy to give any advice from a legal perspective i.e. contracts, etc. Just feel free to email me below.
