Appointment of Head of Paid Service
Full Council will approve the appointment of the Head of Paid Service following the recommendation of such an appointment by an Appointments Panel. The Appointments Panel will consist of:
- the Chair of the Council
- the Leader
- six other Elected Members of the Council selected by the Council
The Panel will select its own Chair and its membership will be in accordance with political balance requirements. The membership should reflect both the make-up of the Council in terms of gender and age, and reflect the range of responsibility across the Authority’s Committees to seek to minimise any gender inequality or age discrimination.
