Senior Manager Appointments and Employment Committee

The Senior Manager Appointments and Employment Committee is responsible for interviewing and appointing candidates to senior roles within Somerset Council. It makes recommendations for the Chief Executive's appointment to the Full Council for approval. The committee ensures its members have relevant training in recruitment and equalities, and its processes adhere to the Council's Code of Practice. A separate Appointments Panel reviews employment terms and conditions for senior posts and decides on the appointment process before appointing the committee.
