Telford & Wrekin Council begin recruitment of interim chief executive
Following the announcement of a review of senior management and current chief executive Victor Brownlees’ application to take voluntary redundancy, Telford & Wrekin Council has begun the appointment process for an interim Chief Executive.
The Council is seeking internal and external applicants for the interim post and the Council’s Personnel Board will be in a position to recommend an appointment later this month.
As with any such appointment, this must be ratified by the Council, and this should happen at its meeting on July 28.
Working with the Cabinet, the interim chief executive will advise on the strategic direction of the Council including a review of senior management, ensuring that this aligns with Telford & Wrekin becoming a co-operative council.
In order for the review of the senior management structure to take place, a permanent appointment will not be in post until early next year.
Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet has supported Victor Brownlees’ application to take voluntary redundancy, and the process is expected to be formally concluded next week by the Council’s Personnel Board. The cost of any redundancy payment will be made public shortly afterwards.
