The Panel interviewed two candidates for the Director of Children’s Services role on the 29 April 2022. The Panel had been split in their decision and could not select one candidate over the other. Both candidates had been invited to a further interview on Tuesday 3 May 2022 and the meeting on 29 April was adjourned. 

The Panel reconvened on 3 May 2022 and both candidates delivered a presentation on a set question. The Panel would look to appoint Sharon Muldoon to the position of Director of Children’s Services, and subject to accepting the position and subsequent references being satisfactory would proceed with awarding the position.

Members interviewed two candidates for the post of Director of Children’s Services.  After interviewing candidates and reviewing information from the selection process, Members, having considered each candidate, felt that neither candidate had been of the required standards for such a pivotal role with Plymouth City Council, therefore no appointment would be made.
