Decision details

The Committee interviewed the two applicants for appointment to this position. It carefully considered their respective merits and satisfied itself as to their competency by reference to their written profiles, oral presentations and the answers to questions concerning the role and by wider questioning.

The Joint Committee accepted that each candidate had presented a strong case and considered that both were more than capable of doing the role but felt that one candidate in particular had more relevant experience in delivering a shared service arrangement which was of particular importance moving forward for oneSource. The Committee had no hesitation in deciding which of the two excellent applicants it would recommend for appointment. 

The Joint Committee agreed on a suitable candidate for the post and indicated a provisional intention to make an offer to Shirley Jarlett, with the other candidate held as a reserve in the event that the preferred candidate did not accept the provisional offer.
