The Richmond and Wandsworth Joint Staffing Committee is scheduled to convene on Thursday, 18 June 2026. The meeting's agenda includes a report concerning the recruitment and selection process for a new Chief Executive, who also holds the position of Head of Paid Service. Additionally, the committee will consider the minutes from their previous meeting held on 26 March 2026.

Recruitment and Selection for Chief Executive

A key item scheduled for discussion is the recruitment and selection process for the permanent new Chief Executive, who also serves as the Head of Paid Service. A report from the Executive Director of Change and Innovation is expected to be presented for consideration. The Local Government Act 1972 allows for the exclusion of the press and public from discussions where exempt information might be disclosed. In this instance, the report pack indicates that such exclusion may be considered if the information is personal and relates to an identifiable individual, and if its disclosure would hinder the free and frank provision of advice or the free and frank exchange of views for the purposes of deliberation. ¹

Minutes of Previous Meeting

The committee is scheduled to review the minutes from the meeting held on 26 March 2026. The purpose of this agenda item is to approve these minutes as an accurate record of the previous meeting and to authorise the chair to sign them.
