RESOLVED:
TO PUT FORWARD TWO CANDIDATES ON THE SHORTLIST FOR HEAD OF ADULTS,
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
The Corporate Director reported that three applications had been
received for the post, with two matching the essential criteria.
The applications were
discussed in accordance with the requirements of the post, focusing on the main
competencies.
Although the number of applications was disappointing, the Members were
assured that the post had been sufficiently advertised, which included external
agencies, websites and announcements.
It was proposed and
seconded to place two candidates on the shortlist.
RESOLVED:
TO PLACE TWO
CANDIDATES ON THE SHORTLIST FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF HEAD OF ADULTS, HEALTH AND
WELL-BEING DEPARTMENT
In elaborating on the next steps, Eurig Williams (Human Resources
Advisory Service Manager) highlighted that both candidates would be invited to
take part in a series of online exercises and with business psychologists. He
elaborated that an internal Assessment Centre would be held, as well as further
assessment arrangements led by the Corporate Director. Feedback from the
candidates' responses and performance in those exercises would be presented
verbally to the Chief Officers’ Appointment Committee on the day of the
interviews.
Questions (in draft form) for the interviews were discussed with
Members. Following the feedback received, it was reported that a final version
of the questions would be shared with them prior to the day of the interviews.
