The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (GLCCA) Appointments Panel was scheduled to meet on Monday, 20 April 2026, to discuss the preferred candidates for two key senior roles within the authority. The primary focus of the meeting was to review the outcomes of the interview process for the positions of Director of Resources and Head of Legal and Governance.

GLCCA Director of Resources and Head of Legal and Governance Preferred Candidate Decision

The panel was scheduled to consider a report seeking their decision on which candidates would be put forward as the preferred choices for the roles of Director of Resources and Head of Legal and Governance. This process was established following an Extraordinary meeting of the Authority on 12 November 2025, as outlined in the Officer Employment Procedure Rules within Part 4 of the Authority's Constitution. The Appointments Panel has been delegated the responsibility for overseeing the recruitment process for these chief officer roles.

The report indicated that interviews for both positions were scheduled to conclude on the afternoon of Monday, 20 April 2026. The panel's task was to agree on preferred candidates so that a recommendation could be made to the full Authority at a subsequent meeting. The report also stated that if no candidates were deemed suitable, the panel would agree on the next steps for recruitment.

The recruitment process was to be conducted with due regard to the Equality Act 2010, aiming to eliminate discrimination and advance equality of opportunity. The report noted that there were no direct financial implications arising from this report, and no specific Greater Lincolnshire policies were highlighted as being directly impacted. The background papers for this report included the Authority's Constitution. The report itself was titled GLCCA Director of Resources and Head of Governance Preferred Candidate Decision and was prepared by Alison Miller, Lincolnshire County Council's Resourcing Manager.
