experience, and thereby assist the recruitment process.
Commissioners agreed the recommendations and the recruitment agency that should be appointed following the tender process.

Recruitment of a new Chief Executive
Supporting documents:

Minutes:
Management Board considered a draft
Commission paper containing options for the recruitment of the next Chief
Executive, prepared by the current Commission to assist the new Commission of
the Fifth Assembly, who would be responsible for making the appointment.
The Board made suggestions for clarifying points
within the proposal, and recommended that the tender process for the
recruitment agency begin, so outcomes could be ready for the new Commission to
advertise the post immediately, to enable interviews to be held in the autumn.
The paper would be presented to
the Commission at their meeting on 11 February.
Meeting: 11/06/2015 - Senedd Commission (Item 2)
Departure of the Chief Executive: Commission considerations
Supporting documents:
- Restricted enclosure 14
- Restricted enclosure 15
- Restricted enclosure 16
Minutes:
Claire
Clancy has indicated that she will be resigning as Chief Executive during
2016-17. Commissioners began consideration of plans to prepare the ground for
the appointment of the next Chief Executive, with an anticipated start date of
late 2016 or early 2017.
As
she will be retiring rather than looking for a post elsewhere, Claire will have
considerable flexibility over her departure date. She has indicated that she
will be happy to accommodate the wishes of the new Presiding Officer and
Commission, in terms of linking the timing of her resignation to the timing of
the recruitment of a successor.
Commissioners
discussed proposals for the recruitment process and terms of appointment, for
use by Commissioners for the Fifth Assembly, who will be responsible for making
the appointment. They agreed that they wanted to be helpful to the new
Commission by providing clear advice based on their 5 years’ experience, but
that the new Commission should make and own the final decisions.
The
Commission’s discussions encompassed:
• a draft job specification;
• options for both a fixed term and an
open-ended appointment;
• options for salary;
• the possibility of using an external
recruitment agency; and
• arrangements for final ratification of
the appointment.
Commissioners
asked for further proposals and advice to be provided to them early in 2016.
