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.

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.

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.

Your commercial acumen and strategic insight will be critical to Tricuro's success, as will your commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

The Governance team also supports the operation of several committees of the Board of Trustees, the Senior Leadership Team and its committees, and the boards of directors of the British Council's two UK registered subsidiary companies. Working in this area offers the opportunity to get close to strategic decision making and to help to build the reputation of the organisation. Key internal relationships associated with the role include: • Board of Trustees, Senior Leadership Team, and Global Leadership Team • Regional and Country Directors and senior leaders • Corporate Affairs (Chairman and Chief Executive's team, Legal team, Governance team), Status and Tax Workstream Manager and status change project teams and Finance teams, and other specialist teams • Directors and company secretaries of the British Council's subsidiary companies External relationships include interactions with external lawyers on branch and subsidiary related matters and potentially with external regulators. You will manage governance and compliance activities and embed good corporate governance practice across the British Council charity and group in the UK and overseas.

For example: o delivering briefings, such as to newly appointed Country and Regional Directors on governance issues in their area, o working with the communications team on how best to share information about updates to our status or governance arrangements, and o advising on the operation of subsidiary board meetings and shareholder meetings, in some cases attending those meetings as an observer. • Responsible for providing governance expertise and support to the on-going management of branches and subsidiaries and, where appropriate, to the winding up of British Council branches and subsidiaries.

We work in two ways - directly with individuals to transform their lives, and with governments and partners to make a bigger difference for the longer term, creating benefit for millions of people all over the world. We help young people to gain the skills, confidence and connections they are looking for to realise their potential and to participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative enterprise. We connect the best of the UK with the world and the best of the world with the UK. These connections lead to an understanding of each other's strengths and of the challenges and values that we share. This builds trust between people in the UK and other nations which endures even when official relations may be strained. We work on the ground in more than 100 countries. In 2019-20 we connected with 80 million people directly and with 791 million overall, including online and through our broadcasts and publications. Summary This is a fantastic opportunity to join a truly unique organisation. A charity by law, the British Council is also an Arm's Length Body of HM Government, funding its activities from a variety of sources (including commercial operations and Government grant-in-aid).

The Governance team also supports the operation of several committees of the Board of Trustees, the Senior Leadership Team and its committees, and the boards of directors of the British Council's two UK registered subsidiary companies. Working in this area offers the opportunity to get close to strategic decision making and to help to build the reputation of the organisation.
