The Chief Executive presented the report which set out the recruitment and selection arrangements for the posts of Head of ALN and Wellbeing, Head of Neighbourhood Services and Operational Manager (and statutory Head of) Democratic Services. It was proposed to advertise the posts (both internally and externally) as soon as practically possible with the process likely to commence in early June 2024. Councillor Carroll commented that he was supportive of the Committee considering more than one candidate at final interview stage so as to enable the No. Committee to compare suitable candidates. The Leader in response indicated that this would be progressed where more than one suitably qualified candidate was identified in the earlier stages of the process by Officers.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
