Treasury: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the post of Director of Special Advisers and Chancellor Engagement was advertised openly.
Answered by James Murray
The correct processes were followed in the appointment of the Director of Special Advisers and Chancellor Engagement. Louise Tinsley has been a civil servant for 7 years. She had passed a selection board for a role at director level prior to the election being called. A similar Director role had been filled by a civil servant prior to Louise’s appointment. The incumbent has been appointed for an initial period of 6 months.
The Director of Special Advisers and Chancellor Engagement does not currently have line management responsibilities.
