Decision details

The Committee considered a report in relation to the proposed engagement of a resourcing company(s) to assist with the recruitment to the posts of Chief Executive and Director of Resources and the Executive Director of Education and Children's Services.

It was also reported that the temporary amendments to the Committee's terms of reference, which authorised the Committee to appoint and dismiss Directors under the Council's new senior management structure, had come to an end.  All Director appointments had now been made and, in the future, the Committee would only be responsible for the appointment and dismissal of those senior officers set out in the report.

Resolved:

1.  That the interim Chief Executive and Director of Resources be authorised, in consultation with the Chair of the Employment Committee, to approve the engagement of a resourcing company(s) to assist with the recruitment to the posts of Chief Executive and Director of Resources and the Executive Director of Education and Children's Services.

2.  That the cessation of the temporary amendments to the Committee's Terms of Reference and the future role of the Committee in relation to the appointment and dismissal of senior officers, as set out in the report now presented, be noted.
