Summary
The Lay Chair is accountable for ensuring that eachAdvisory Appointment Committee (AAC), panel is planned and conducted in accordance with regulation and local processes. The role of the Lay Chair is to facilitate the AAC to ensure the process is fair, transparent, and inclusive for all. Ensuring that all candidates are treated fairly and equitably upholding the Trusts Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion policy. They should also allow each panel member an equal and fair opportunity to pose a question to the candidate. A key part in the process for the Lay Chair is to discuss with panel members and conclude the questions to be put to candidates ensuring there is an adequate spread of questions, and to confirm the order in which members will ask their questions. Ensuring panel members are given an opportunity, prior to interview, to clarify points of detail concerning the job description and/or person specification. The Lay Chair facilitates discussions after the final candidate has been interviewed, to enable the committee to come to a decision. It is the Chair who makes the recommendation to appoint the most suitable candidate(s). The Lay Chair will ask AAC members to positively declare for each candidate whether they believe them to be appointable or not. There then follows a detailed discussion about each candidate in turn, as would be the case for a normal interview panel. Each AAC member has an equal voice in the committee, and if it comes to a vote, all votes carry equal weight. Through facilitated discussion and dialogue the Lay chair should allow for an equal exchange of constructive views. Ensure appropriate feedback is offered to unsuccessful candidates following the interview stage of the recruitment process. A Medical background is not necessary for this role.
