The full terms of reference for
the Staffing Committee are set out in Part 7 of the Council’s
Constitution, located in the
Library section of this website.
In addition to the seven
councillors whose names appear in the membership below, Council has
appointed three members of the Cabinet by virtue of their role as
portfolio lead members.
A Cabinet member will serve on
the Staffing Committee when the appointment is relevant to a post
falling within their area of responsibility (portfolio), and will
serve as its Chair. If a post is relevant to more than one Cabinet
member’s area of responsibility, the Leader will determine
who will serve.
Purpose of the Staffing Committee:
·
To determine matters relating to the Council’s
responsibilities as an employer, where a member-level decision is
required, including the overall framework of terms and conditions
of service for employees.
·
To consider applications and make appointments to
senior posts (or to appoint sub-committees for that purpose), or to
make recommendations to Full Council, as required under the
Employment Procedure Rules set out in Part 8 of the
Constitution.
·
To hear any appeal or other staffing matter
requiring member level decision or appoint a sub-committee to
fulfil the role.
