Are you committed to helping us regulate health and social care within England?

When thinking about what drives you every day in your job, what keeps you motivated and passionate about your work, what comes to mind? For 3000+ people at the CQC, we end each day knowing that we have made a difference to the lives of those most in need in our communities. We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and encourage care services to improve. We are looking for people who are caring, demonstrate integrity and work well as part of a team to join with us and share in this sense of achievement. If you would like to help us make a positive impact to health and social care within England, then read on.
 

Why this could be a great role for you…

We’re looking for an experienced ITDR Manager (with practical experience of implementing effective ITDR in a Microsoft Azure & M365 environments) to join our dynamic and experienced team of technology professionals, to play a leading role in the development and ongoing maintenance of our IT Disaster Recovery processes, policies, testing schedules and corresponding “failure mode analysis” and assurance efforts.

You will have the opportunity to build upon your previous knowledge and experience to “lead” and “own” the organisations IT Disaster Recovery Framework (ITDR), working with internal teams/stakeholders and external suppliers and auditors to ensure the availability and effectiveness of our ITDR capabilities for the IT systems and services that we use - implementing and executing suitable testing and rehearsal exercises for assurance purposes to ensure partners and internal teams fulfil their role in delivering effective ITDR.

We use the latest technologies in terms of M365, D365, azure hosting and the ilk thereby providing you with exposure to these technologies. We also work at pace, and avoid micromanaging - meaning that you will have a degree of autonomy that you may not find elsewhere.

If you enjoy working in a fast paced and collaborative environment, with a real opportunity to drive things forward and ultimately make a real difference to peoples lives, then this could be the right role for you.
 

What we can offer you...

Your health and wellbeing are important to us and are supported through generous annual leave (starting at 27 days and rising with service to 32.5days, plus 8 Bank Holidays), a cycle to work scheme, discounted gym vouchers and access to a free employee assistance service 24 hours a day. We also understand the importance of financial health and offer membership of the NHS pension scheme, contributing about 14% of basic salary. You will also be able to access discounts to supermarkets, high street stores, electronics, fleet cars, plus we also have an internal reward scheme which could see you earn yourself a voucher or two! All of our Homeworkers are also kitted out with everything they need to comfortably work from home.

We want to support you to succeed and be your very best, with opportunities for training and development along with the support of experienced managers and mentors.

We want to make working for CQC a great experience for everyone, and to role model a diverse and representative culture. To support an inclusive environment where colleagues feel empowered to bring their whole self to work, we support a variety of staff networks, including the Race Equality Network, LGBT+ Equality Network, Carers Equality Network, Disability Equality Network and Gender Equality network.
