Our friends at the TSA are looking to recruit a new Chair of the TEC Services Association.
The TEC Services Association (TSA) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a clear vision: to drive transformation and growth of the technology-enabled care (TEC) sector by strengthening partnerships, harnessing data and empowering people.
TSA exist to improve lives. TEC helps people of all ages - whether living with disabilities, long-term conditions, or in later life - to live safely, independently and with dignity, often in their own homes. From supporting people to manage health conditions to reducing loneliness and providing families with peace of mind, the impact of their work is felt in communities across the UK.
The TSA achieves this by shaping national policy, setting standards, and guiding organisations to deliver services that are safe, resilient, and person-centred. Through their subsidiary, TEC Quality, they deliver the UK’s only UKAS-accredited Quality Standards Framework (QSF) for TEC and community equipment services. This ensures services not only comply with regulations but also actively raise the bar for quality and innovation.
TSA also represents a vibrant and committed membership. Their 350+ members include local authorities, health and care providers, housing organisations, charities and technology suppliers, working together with us to embed technology into health, housing and social care, and create better outcomes for people and communities.
Driving national priorities forward
TSA is not only responding to the national policy agenda; it is also actively shaping and supporting it.
Through the NHS Long Term Plan and the government’s 10 Year Health Plan, three strategic shifts are clear: moving care from hospital into the community, from sickness into prevention, and from analogue to digital. TSA is working across government, regulators, providers and industry to help deliver on all three:
Hospital to community: Helping services use TEC to support earlier intervention, wraparound care and safe independence at home.
Sickness to prevention: Championing preventative models, from digital monitoring to proactive community support, reducing pressure on overstretched health and care services.
Analogue to digital: Playing a leading role in the Analogue-to-Digital (A to D) programme, safeguarding vulnerable residents and ensuring a safe, inclusive transition.
TSA is also:
Driving TEC Standards: Supporting the government’s commitment to national standards, ensuring they are meaningful, practical and grounded in frontline delivery.
Delivering the Telecare National Action Plan (TNAP): Actively coordinating with government, Ofcom, telecoms providers and service providers to deliver a safe national transition.
Shaping the 2030 Business Plan: Leading the sector’s evolution through innovation in AI, predictive analytics, integrated community hubs and workforce transformation.
Supporting Care to Connect (APPG Report): Convening partners and supporting pilots to strengthen digital readiness and safeguard residents across the UK.
The opportunity
TSA is seeking a dynamic Chair to lead our Board and work closely with our Chief Executive.
This position requires a high-profile leader with the authority, vision, and credibility to influence government, regulators, and system leaders, and to help convene partners around the TSA’s mission.
The successful candidate will:
Provide strategic leadership, ensuring TSA fulfils its mission and national role
Guide effective governance and accountability across TSA and TEC Quality
Influence at the highest levels of government, regulatory bodies, care systems and industry
Act as a convenor, bringing together diverse voices to support a shared vision for the future of TEC
Champion the role of technology in improving lives and strengthening services
Who they are looking for
The TSA need an individual with:
Proven senior leadership experience in complex organisations
Strong governance expertise and the ability to lead Boards effectively
The credibility to engage directly with ministers, regulators, system leaders and industry figures
A deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges across health, housing and social care, and the role technology plays in addressing them
Outstanding communication skills and ambassadorial presence, with the ability to convene and influence
Why this role matters
The TEC sector is entering a new era of growth and transformation. With the NHS and government prioritising prevention, community-based support and digital integration, technology is becoming central to how care is delivered. TSA is leading this transformation. The Chair will guide our vision to 2030, shape the national agenda and ensure technology delivers better outcomes for people and communities across the UK.
