The Appointments and Conditions of Service Committee of Gedling Council met on Tuesday 11 June 2024 to discuss several key issues, including the appointment of a Deputy Chief Executive and Monitoring Officer, the recommendation of appointments to Chief Officer posts, and policy changes related to flexible working and care leave.
Interview for the Post of Deputy Chief Executive and Monitoring Officer
The committee conducted the selection process for the post of Deputy Chief Executive and Monitoring Officer. It was determined that the one applicant was appointable to the post. The committee confirmed the designation of this post as Monitoring Officer and agreed on the starting salary within the three-point range detailed in the report. The Deputy Monitoring Officer was instructed to notify the Executive prior to the formal offer of appointment.
Recommended Appointment into Chief Officer Posts
The committee supported the Chief Executive's recommendation to appoint the following officers:
- Tina Adams as Chief Finance Officer and Section 151 Officer1.
- Lance Juby as Assistant Director, Communities, Leisure and Wellbeing.
- David Archer as Director of Transformation (job-shared and for a period of up to two years).
The new post of Chief Finance Officer was confirmed as the Council’s Chief Financial Officer (Section 151 Officer) as required under Section 151 of the Local Government Act 19722. The Monitoring Officer (or Deputy Monitoring Officer) was authorised to notify the Executive of the committee’s recommendation and to ask if there were any material objections to the appointments. Should there be no material objections, the Leader of the Council would confirm the post holders from a date determined by the Chief Executive.
Policy Changes (Flexible Working and Care Leave)
The committee endorsed the commencement of the consultation and implementation process for changes to policies related to flexible working and care leave. The proposed changes aim to support the workforce by providing more adaptable working conditions and better care leave options.
