All but five of the 33 key posts in the Children, Young People and Families Directorate, which is divided into six policy groups or units, are now filled.
Former Connexions chief Anne Weinstock leads the Supporting Children and Young People Group, which controls Connexions, youth work policy and the Children's Fund.
Weinstock's group also includes the Teenage Pregnancy Unit, which is moving from the Department of Health into the education department early next year. Cathy Hamlyn will remain in charge, although she will stay in the health department, leaving Alison Hadley to handle the day-to-day running of the unit.
Caretaker directors Sheila Scales and Jeanette Pugh have been appointed to the Local Transformation Group and the Children's Workforce Unit respectively.
