Decision details

Approval of changes to the housing department senior management structure

RESOLVED:

1.  That the creation of a new director of housing needs and support be noted.

2.  That the deletion of an existing, vacant senior management post, the director of major estates, meaning the creation of the new director post is not an additional cost be noted.

3.  That the proposal to create a new assistant director of planned maintenance be noted.

4.  That it be noted that the proposal to delete an existing senior management post, senior strategic business manager, meaning the creation of the new assistant director post is largely offset by the saving achieved from deleting the senior strategic business manager post.

5.  That it be noted that proposals in the report directly affect a small number of employees and are therefore subject to consultation with those employees and their trade union representatives.

6.  That authority be delegated to the strategic director of housing, to finalise and implement the proposed changes once consultation with directly affected employees and their trade union representatives has been completed and all consultation responses have been taken into account.
