Appointment of Executive Director People - Adults and Housing Services
Minutes:
The Chief Executive
reported that due to unforeseen circumstances there was a need to appoint to
the position of Acting Executive Director People – Adults and Housing until the
return of the substantive post holder to their role.
He advised the committee
that under his delegated powers he had appointed Vivienne Broadhurst
to the position due to her current knowledge of the service and in order to
maintain continuity and stability. It was noted that the role of Director of
Adult Service (DASS) was a statutory function and he sought the committees
support for this decision.
It was likely that
the appointment would be for a period of three to six months, but asked that
this should remain flexible. The post holder’s salary would be within the
Executive Director salary range.
The committee
supported this interim solution, but
also requested that the appropriate support be put into place at the
Corporate Directorate level of the service.
Decision
That the decision
of the Chief Executive to appoint Vivienne Broadhurst
to the position of Acting Executive Director People – Adults and Housing until
the return of the substantive post holder, be supported and noted.
