I thought they had to. And they could not stipulate race, gender and sexuality. Unless they want a black lesbian.

I thought they had to but cant find the actual law anywhere?

This is a job given out to an individual externally but not advertised.

Sounds like a case of jobs for the boys

The council should have their own policy on recruitment

You should ask to see it and if you suspect foul play then ask them the reason behind their decision to do this
