Liverpool Council is beginning its search for a new chief executive from next week.
According to a timetable made public by the local authority, it could be in a position to confirm who will take up the role by March 1, next year. The city council’s previous boss Tony Reeves stepped down from the role he held for four years in July amid a highly critical report by government appointed commissioners.
Former Trafford Council chief Theresa Grant stepped into the breach four weeks ago on an interim basis for eight months and has vowed to bring stability to the organisation. According to a report by Liverpool Council’s appointments and disciplinary panel, the local authority is to look for “an experienced leader with a reputation for service excellence, strong leadership, and track record in delivering large scale improvement and transformation under challenging financial pressures.”
