Decision details

The Director of Communities, Housing & Environment has:

a) Approved creation of and recruitment to a new PO6 Project Manager post to project/contract manage Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) Scheme projects to successful conclusion;
b) Approved creation of and recruitment to a new PO6 Technical Manager to ensure high quality HUG Scheme installs in an increasingly complex and regulated environment;
c) Approved creation of and recruitment to a new PO2 Senior Marketing/ Communications Officer and a new SO2 Marketing/Communications Officer to drive demand for the HUG Scheme;
d) Approved creation of and recruitment to a PO4 Senior Project Officer post in the event that targeted district heating grant funding is secured, or the successful PO6 Project Manager applicant (as per a) above) is an internal recruit from the existing team meaning that the essential additional capacity required to deliver the HUG Scheme is not secured, in which event the previous substantive post of the successful applicant will be deleted to predominantly fund this new PO4 post;
e) Approved the regrade of the existing B3 Retrofit Support Assistant post to C1 to recognise the increasingly technical administration requirements of HUG and other energy efficiency schemes
