Our Organisation

NHS England and NHS Improvement came together on 1 April 2019 as a new single organisation. The NHS Long Term Plan focuses on delivering integrated care to patients at the local level and we can best support the NHS to deliver this as a single integrated organisation.

At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that's job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have an 'home' office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

Our new operating model represents a strong shift to regional delivery supported by expert corporate teams. Local health systems are supported by our integrated regional teams who play a major leadership role in the geographies they manage.

We are jointly committed to creating and maintaining a fair and supportive working environment and culture, where contributions are fully recognised and valued by all and staff feel empowered to carry out their duties to the best of their abilities. As employers we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health and well-being of all our staff. This underpins our values as set out in the NHS Constitution, supports us to be an Employer of Choice and ultimately enables our employees to support the effective care of our patients.

The South West Regional Operations Centre (ROC) has been established to manage the support required to coordinate the delivery of services to our patients and to support local healthcare professionals and Systems in delivering required services. The ROC is responsible for communicating Covid-19, winter, EU Exit planning and Covid-19 vaccination requirements to Providers, Commissioners and other organizations that support healthcare delivery in the SW Region; assuring local preparations; responding to operational enquiries for Covid-19, winter and Covid-19 vaccination; coordinating the operational response within the SW Region and meeting national reporting requirements. While the primary location for the South West ROC is in SW House, Taunton, at the present time the successful candidate will generally work remotely, using MS Teams, following current NHS workforce guidance. When the ROC is able to return to an office base environment, the successful candidate's location may include SW House, Jenner House, Chippenham or Peninsula House in Saltash.

The weekend working requirements will be undertaken on a rota basis, unless volunteers are found to regularly work at the weekend. Additionally, there may be a requirement for the successful candidate to provide cross-cover for other members of the ROC, including flexing working hours in line with ROC core operating hours and undertaking other tasks and activities as specified by the ROC Director.
