Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has welcomed a CalMac Ferries management post being located within the ferry company’s network. The move would allow for the job to be located in the islands. The comhairle has been calling for CalMac to locate some of its senior posts in the islands to provide an economic boost and lead to overall improvement in service performance.
CalMac is advertising for a corporate social responsibility manager to be based ‘within the CalMac network with travel around the network’.
Councillor Uisdean Robertson said: ‘This is a small but welcome development and will hopefully lead to the location of senior posts within island communities. I would urge any suitable persons living in the islands to apply.’
