- Service quality & impact: Embed rigorous monitoring and evaluation so our outcomes drive commissioning, improve margins and strengthen our reputation.
- People leadership: Inspire, retain and develop a high-performing, compassionate leadership team and workforce.
- Governance & financial stewardship: Provide the Board with timely, high-quality reporting, oversee financial recovery plans, and ensure robust risk and compliance frameworks.
Who you are:
- An experienced CEO or senior director from complex, multi-service health & social care or community organisations.
- Proven track record in winning commissioned contracts, tendering and contract management.
- Skilled at building strategic partnerships and influencing at senior system level.
- Comfortable leading transformation and financial sustainability work, with demonstrable budgeting and forecasting skills.
- A values-led, collaborative leader with high emotional intelligence, resilience and a commitment to social justice and co-production.
Why Help & Care?
- Lead a highly respected regional provider with an outstanding track record of co-production and innovation.
- Shape an organisation poised for growth and greater regional influence.
- Hybrid, home-based working, regular travel across Dorset, and the chance to safeguard vital services for local communities.
