Hobsons Bay council is seeking applicants for its vacant chief executive position.
The council has been without a permanent leader since longtime chief executive Aaron van Egmond was suspended in January pending an investigation into workplace safety issues at the council.
Mr van Egmond resigned in April.
Former Wyndham, Maribyrnong and Municipal Association of Victoria chief executive Kerry Thompson has been acting in the role since February.
On Monday, Hobsons Bay council announced that it was now accepting applications for a permanent chief executive, with the successful candidate to have a high level of financial acumen, comprehensive understanding of the local government sector and a track record leading a large service delivery based organisation.
The incoming chief executive will also be required to foster a culture of trust and collaboration, drive organisational performance and re-establish governance excellence at the council.
“Appointing a CEO is one of the most important roles of a council and is a role the councillor group takes very seriously,” said Hobsons Bay Mayor Daria Kellander.
“We will be looking for a person who models authentic, values driven leadership and someone who can build trust with councillors, community and staff.
“I look forward to meeting some great candidates to find the right fit for Hobsons Bay.”
Applications close on August 31.
