A new Deputy Chief Executive of Caerphilly county borough council has been appointed to help deliver an exciting programme of change and improvement across the organisation.
Dave Street, the council’s former Director of Social Services, has been formally appointed to the role yesterday (Thursday 18th May) and is looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
“I’m delighted to be offered this key position, which will help shape the direction of the council in future,” said Dave Street, “I’ve worked for Caerphilly for over 27 years and my experience in social care means that I know our county borough very well and I’m passionate about delivering quality services for all our local residents.”
“I’m really looking forward to hitting the ground running and continuing my work with the senior leadership team to deliver positive change in order to meet the complex needs of our community.”
Chief Executive Christina Harrhy welcomed the appointment, “This is great news for the council and the wider community as Dave has a wealth of experience and knows our organisation, our people and our county borough inside out.”
“This appointment ensures the council has sufficient capacity at the top of the organisation to deliver positive change, but I am also focussing on recruiting and retaining staff at all levels across the organisation so that we have enough ‘boots on the ground’ to deliver key services and support our residents.”
