The Welsh Government has kicked off the search for its next permanent secretary – nine months before Dame Shan Morgan is due to step down.
The Welsh Government is now seeking an “ambitious and inspiring” leader to replace Morgan, whose civil service and diplomatic career spans more than 40 years.
The move confirms that Morgan s five-year contract, which is scheduled to end in February 2022, will not be renewed.
Asked whether this meant her contract would be cut short, a Welsh Government spokesperson said the first minister was keen to get the lengthy process of recruiting Morgan s successor underway in good time before the end of her contract in early 2022 .
