Senior Management Structure

Report of the Chief Executive

Minutes:

Consideration has been given to a revised senior management staffing structure which will reflect a more effective way of working across Council services.

 

RESOLVED -           

      That the Council be recommended to approve:

(i)            The organisation structure, detailed in Appendix 2 to the report, for implementation from 1 November 2019 although transitional arrangements will need to apply whilst vacant posts are being recruited to.

 

 

(ii)          That the Chief Executive be authorised to approve the final salary grades of Strategic and Service Directors, within the Council’s current pay policy framework and grading structure, taking into consideration advice from the LGA, following the application of the LGA job evaluation scheme.

 

 

(iii)         The changes to the Chief Officer terms and conditions of employment, as detailed in the report.

 

 

(iv)         That the Strategic Director, Corporate Services and Governance be authorised, following consultation with the Leader of the Council, to agree any changes to the Council’s Constitution as deemed necessary as a consequence of the changes so approved.

 

 

(v)          The requests for voluntary redundancy from three current Service Directors whose posts are proposed to be deleted from the staffing establishment.

 

(vi)         That the Chief Executive be authorised, following consultation with the Leader of the Council, to agree any changes that may be required to the senior management job titles as currently outlined in the report.

 

The above decisions have been made to enable continued improvement on the co-ordination of Council functions, the organisation of its employees, and to enable Council services to focus on delivery of the Thrive agenda in a more efficient and effective way, embracing the Public Service Reform principles.
