The Director of Corporate Resources presented the report which set out the recruitment and selection arrangements for the post of Head of Corporate Landlord. The Chair sought clarity surrounding the location of the role, as the nature of the position meant there would be a need to revisit Council assets across the County, to which the Director of Resources responded around the need for the postholder to maintain a presence within the Vale of Glamorgan, with a minimum of 2 days in person to provide visible leadership. Councillor Carroll asked if the position would require approval by Full Council, to which they were advised that the Constitution indicated that only statutory positions such as Monitoring Officer and Section 151 Officer required Council approval, but that a report would be provided to Council to note the appointment. September 18 Minutes and DN (JLT) It was proposed to advertise the posts (both internally and externally) as soon as practically possible with the process likely to commence at the end of October 2025, with interviews being held in November and December 2025.

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.
