Agenda item

Appointment of Senior Management Posts

Minutes:

Members received an overview of the Appointment of Senior Management Posts as detailed in the circulated report.

 

The Chief Executive explained that this item would normally be considered by Personnel Committee, but due to recent changes made by the Welsh Government, authority to advertise these posts at this level would now need to be considered by Council.  The recruitment and selection process would be overseen by the Special Appointments Committee after the Local Government Elections in May 2022.

 

Members were pleased with the proposal before them today.  Discussion took place on the importance of these posts and the areas and challenges they would need to concentrate on.

 

RESOLVED:

Having due regard to the Integrated Impact Screening Assessment:

 

1.      Approval be granted to establish a new post of Head of Housing and Communities, reporting to the Director of Social Services, Health and Housing;

2.      Approval be granted to establish a new post of Head of Leisure, Tourism, Heritage and Culture reporting to the Director of Education, Leisure and Lifelong Learning;

3.      That the Chief Executive and the Head of People and Organisational Development be authorised to advertise these posts with the recruitment and selection to be overseen by the Special Appointments Committee following the Local Government Elections, May 2022.

4.      Approval be granted for the salary to apply to both posts, in line with the NPT Head of Service Pay Grade that ranges from £77,269 per annum to £84,991 per annum and delegates authority to the Special Appointments Committee to determine the starting salary to be offered to successful candidates within the parameters of the pay grade.
