The search for a new chief executive of Caerphilly County Borough Council has begun.

The local authority said it is “seeking a forward-thinking strategic leader” to take the top job, following the departure of Christina Harrhy.

Her replacement will be expected to work with councillors “to provide strategic leadership, advice and direction” and help the council “deliver its strategic direction, vision and values”.

Caerphilly Council started advertising the chief executive vacancy this week, and is seeking candidates with “experience of senior management and leadership at a corporate level”.

The salary offered is £156,939 a year.

A new chief executive is unlikely........
