Interim Director of Place and Communities
Minutes:
Members were reminded that a recruitment exercise for the post of Director of Place and Communities had been held. Unfortunately, it had not proved possible to identify suitable candidates, with the right combination of skills and experience, to be selected for the final interview.
The report to Committee set out the possible next steps following on from this. It recommended that the current interim management arrangements should continue for a further period.
Members discussed the report. There was a consensus that these interim arrangements had worked well. The potential advantages of continuing them for a further period were also highlighted, including the career development opportunities that it would provide for other officers in the Council.
The Committee supported the proposed approach.
RESOLVED
That the current interim appointment to the post of Director of Place and Communities be confirmed on the terms set out in the report.
Reasons
To provide stability and continuity in order to support the delivery of key corporate objectives.
