Speaking on Wednesday, Middleton said trustees have asked her to stay on as acting chief executive until the recruitment process can be âkicked off and implementedâ.
âWeâre just trying to manage the workload amongst the management team and the staff whilst that process goes on,â she said.
When asked if there was a challenge of upping staff morale when she took on the interim role, Middleton said there is âalways uncertainty when you get changes like thatâ.

Head of operations Adam Johnson also left the trust at the end of the year.
But Middleton said she is âworking very closely with the staff and the team, and theyâve all been phenomenally supportive, and we need to keep working on thatâ.
Sandy Middleton, who is head of engagement, will take on the role of interim chief executive.
She said it will be for a “short period until further plans can be made in the New Year”.
Shetland Amenity Trust, meanwhile, aims to to “safeguard, enhance, and promote Shetland’s heritage”.
The organisation, which is part-funded by Shetland Charitable Trust, was formed in 1983.
It operates the Shetland Museum and Archives, as well as the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse, while it also oversees the popular Shetland Wool Week.
