Recruitment to the Posts of Chief Personnel Officer and Service Manager Finance Report of the Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director Corporate Resources and Customer Services, relating to recruitment to the posts of (1) Chief Personnel Officer and (2) Service Manager Finance.
The report updated Members on the recruitment process so far for the post of Chief Personnel Officer, the process for completion of the appointment and sought approval of the recommended shortlist for progression to the next stage of the selection process for that post.
The Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services provided a verbal update on the proposed approach to recruitment to the post of Service Manager Finance, indicating that the candidates shortlisted for this post by the Employment Procedure Committee held on 11 May 2021 had failed to progress past the Technical Interview stage and therefore, in consultation with the Chair, the Employment Procedure Committee interviews on 24 May 2021 had been cancelled.
The Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services explained that the role of Service Manager Finance was a statutory position and interim arrangements were currently in place with a member of the Finance Team covering the post in an acting up arrangement.
He indicated that nationally there was a difficulty in recruiting to this role and it was proposed that the position be re-advertised internally in the first instance.
RESOLVED: That
