You will advise Executive Directors and senior leaders, lead major incident preparedness, and ensure the organisation is ready to respond effectively to disruption, operational pressures and emergencies.

Key responsibilities include leading the development, implementation and assurance of major incident, business continuity, surge capacity and resilience plans; overseeing compliance with NHS EPRR Core Standards; and ensuring the Trust meets its statutory obligations under relevant legislation and national guidance.
You will work closely with Executive Directors, operational teams, system partners, Local Resilience Forums and NHS England, providing expert advice on preparedness, resilience, command and control arrangements, and incident response.
The role also leads EPRR training, exercising, policy development, assurance reporting and organisational learning following incidents, ensuring emergency preparedness remains embedded across the Trust.
