Press Release
Corporate Services Directorship remains unfilled
The vacancy for Shetland Islands Council’s Director of Corporate Services is to remain open for the time being.
A full internal and external recruitment exercise was carried out, culminating in the creation of a shortlist and the intensive interviewing of candidates. However, the council’s selection panel has decided not to make an appointment for the time being.
Chief Executive Alistair Buchan said:
“The standard of applicant for this very senior post was impressive. However, after careful consideration, the selection panel has agreed to take a little more time to look at options for covering this post."
“It’s very important that we don’t rush this process. We need to find the right person for this crucial job.”
