The new Policing, Security and Community Safety Act **Apply on the
website** provides that the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission
(GSOC) is to be reconstituted as “Fiosrú”, with the current three
Commissioner model replaced by a single head of the organisation, the
Police Ombudsman, who is supported by a Deputy Police Ombudsman and a
Chief Executive Officer.
As Fiosrú is a reorganised corporate body with a changing
organisation structure, it requires a leader with a proven capacity to
manage change, as the Act streamlines the processes and procedures for
the handling of complaints and the conduct of investigations to
support timely, more transparent and effective resolution while
safeguarding due process for all concerned.
Candidates now are being sought for the position of Police Ombudsman.
The Police Ombudsman will demonstrate a strong commitment to public
service and will understand the importance of public trust and
confidence in An Garda Síochána and the role that an efficient and
effective complaints and conduct system plays in building and
maintaining that trust and confidence.
Within Fiosrú, the Ombudsman will provide inspirational leadership
aimed at building an organisation that achieves the highest standards
of service delivery respectful of the rights of complainants and
members of An Garda Síochána.
THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:
* A proven record of achievement at senior level in the public or
private sector that demonstrates the vision, leadership and management
skills necessary for the role;
* The ability to establish and communicate a clear vision and sense
of purpose across the organisation, and to establish a high
performance culture;
* A proven track record of planning strategically and implementing
modernisation and change programmes while ensuring delivery of ongoing
services in a large organisation;
* Knowledge of the function and operation of an investigative or
oversight body, with evidence of strong governance and/or regulatory
experience.
* Proven ability to drive quality in investigations and complaints
handling, driving efficiencies through digitalisation and fostering
public trust through transparent practices;
The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 3pm on
Thursday *th February *.

this role, please contact Niamh McGuinness at *
