English term or phrase: NON-CAREER OFFICIALS
Toujours dans la fonction publique... => agents contractuels???

NON-CAREER OFFICIALS: Messengers, cleaners, lift attendants, food caterers and so on should not be included in the career service. They should be hired under the prevailing labour market laws. And their pay, allowances and separation terms would be in accordance with these laws.

Agents / fonctionnaires contractuels / sur contrat
Explanation:
That's the term I would use, although it seems funny to use the word official for cleaners, caterers etc.

You might want to add the notion of CDD (contrat à durée déterminée), but that may imply short-term too much. I would just keep 'contractuel'.

Explanation:
Personnel non-titulaire
Se dit des personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique (en France: l'Administration) qui ne sont pas des fonctionnaires (c'est a dire titulaires d'un poste).
Agents contractuels est plus defini, ce sont des personnes engagees avec un contrat pour une certaine duree, mais qui (heureusement) peut etre renouvelable.

neutral  5Q: But this is what the text implies: short-term (read 'expendable') staff and contractors that you can 'get rid of' when your administration's budget is slashed!
