The Employment and Appointments Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday 19 March 2026. The primary focus of the meeting will be the appointment of a Corporate Director of Resources.

Appointment of Corporate Director of Resources

The committee is scheduled to consider the appointment of a candidate to the significant role of Corporate Director of Resources. This position is key to supporting the delivery of the council's missions and objectives, and the postholder will play a vital part in enabling and monitoring the implementation of the Islington Together 2030 Plan. The report pack indicates that the committee will interview candidates for the role and make a decision on the appointment.

The advertised salary for the Corporate Director of Resources post is within Grade CO1, ranging from £132,823 to £159,330, and this is expected to be covered by existing budgets. The report also notes that any offer of employment will be subject to the completion of the Executive Notification Procedure, a statutory process outlined in the Officer Employment Procedure Rules within the Council's Constitution. This procedure allows members of the Executive to be notified of a proposed appointment and to raise any objections. The recruitment process itself is being conducted in accordance with the Council's Constitution, Part 4 Procedure Rules – Officer Employment Rules. An Equalities Impact Assessment Screening has been completed, and a full assessment is not deemed necessary as the recruitment process follows established council procedures. The committee previously agreed a shortlist of candidates for interview at a meeting on 9 March 2026, as detailed in the minutes of that meeting¹.
