The Service Director for HROD presented the item to the Panel and advised that two candidates had been selected for interview following interviews and assessments conducted by a panel which was led by Sharon Muldoon (Director of Children’s Services).

Following interviews with the candidates, the Panel agreed to the appointment of Annie Gammon to the Interim post of Service Director for Education, Participation and Skills subject to Cabinet agreement and the necessary pre-employment checks. The interim post was agreed for 3-6 months and in the event that an extension was required, this would come back to the Chief Officers Appointment Panel for consideration.
