Remuneration: £10,000 per annum

Poole

Closing date: Sunday 17th November 2024

Tricuro is seeking an exceptional individual to take on the role of Independent Chair. As a key figurehead for you will play a vital role in ensuring that Tricuro delivers on its commitment to its public sector shareholder, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. This is a unique opportunity to lead a company that provides critical adult social care services across the region, helping shape its strategic direction while ensuring that it operates with efficiency, effectiveness, and in line with its core values.

In this role, you will provide strong leadership to the Board, overseeing governance and the execution of Tricuro's five-year business plan. You will be instrumental in guiding the Board through its scrutiny responsibilities, ensuring compliance with financial regulations and best practice in corporate governance. Your leadership will be crucial in fostering an inclusive culture of accountability and transparency, ensuring that Tricuro continues to meet its statutory and non-statutory duties while delivering high-quality services to the community.

You will work closely with the Chief Executive, offering guidance and support in strategic business decisions, risk evaluation, and performance management. Your relationship with the Chief Executive will be a cornerstone of the company's success, as you will also lead the processes for their appointment, evaluation, and-when necessary-dismissal. As Chair, you will ensure that the Chief Executive has clear performance targets and that the company's performance is reported quarterly to both the Board and its shareholder.

As the public face of Tricuro, you will represent the organisation in meetings with key stakeholders, including the Integrated Care Board, NHS organisations, and other partners. You will be expected to build and maintain strong working relationships with these partners, ensuring that Tricuro's objectives are aligned with broader public health goals.

The ideal candidate will bring a wealth of experience in organisational leadership and management, ideally at the highest levels within the public, private, or voluntary sectors. You will have a strong understanding of care provision for adults, coupled with a track record of success in strategic planning and service development. Experience in governance, performance management, and financial oversight is essential, as is the ability to lead and motivate a diverse Board of Directors to deliver on Tricuro's vision for the future.

We are looking for a leader with a high degree of political awareness and the ability to navigate complex and often sensitive environments. Your commercial acumen and strategic insight will be critical to Tricuro's success, as will your commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. You will need to be an effective communicator, able to inspire those around you to deliver high-quality services.

This is an important role for someone who is passionate about social care and eager to make a real difference in the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole region. If you have the vision, drive, and experience to lead Tricuro in its next chapter, we would love to hear from you.

The commitment required is a minimum of one day per month to chair Board meetings, alongside quarterly governance meetings with shareholders. However, in the early months of your appointment, additional time may be needed to familiarise yourself with Tricuro's operations and key issues.
