Creation of a Carbon Reduction Officer Post Additional documents: Minutes: Committee considered a report which sought approval for the establishment of a new dedicated Carbon Reduction Officer post.
In its report to Executive on 6th March 2023, the Climate Change and Communities Scrutiny Committee listed a series of recommendations to enable the Council to progress priorities and actions towards being Net Zero by 2050. One of these recommendations was that a dedicated operational post be established and recruited to. The Executive report was attached to the report at Appendix 1.
The proposal was to create a new, dedicated post of Carbon Reduction Officer. The post was estimated to be Grade 8 or 9 and would be subject to the Council’s Job Evaluation Scheme. The Job Description and Person Specification was attached to the report at Appendix 2. The total cost of the new post to the general fund was estimated to be between £52,162 and £59,775 dependent on the result of the evaluation process and the pay award agreement.
Moved by Councillor Duncan McGregor and seconded by Councillor Sandra Peake RESOLVED that (1) the establishment of a dedicated Carbon Reduction Officer for the reasons outlined in the report, be supported.
(2) the Committee recommend to Council that a budget be created to fund the new post via the Council’s General Fund.
