Decision details
Arrangements to cover Curriculum Quality Leader/Business Development ICT post
Decision Maker: Chief Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
The ICT/Bespoke Curriculum Quality Leader
(CQL) left the service at the end of March. There was a delay in
recruiting to the post due to the circumstances surrounding Covid
19. The post was advertised in July and interviews held. Three
applicants were invited back for a second interview but it was not
possible to appoint. The post was advertised again in September and
all the three new applicants were rejected at shortlisting stage.
This has left a significant gap in the management of the
ICT/Bespoke programme which has been covered during lockdown by the
Senior Adult Learning Manager (SALM) with overall responsibility
for all curriculum areas across the service. As Adult Learning
returns to the classroom together with the critical period of
writing the annual Self-Assessment Report, Observations of Teaching
and Learning etc., it is vital that arrangements are put in place
to manage this work. Thought has been given in the interim to
separate the two areas of work within this role. The Business
Development work can in the medium term be supported by other team
members however the management of the ICT area is key.
