Nations & Regions
Workforce priorities and challenges vary between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Similarly, the nine English regions have different workforce needs based on the health and healthcare service requirements of the communities they serve. Local expertise is critical, so we have National Directors based in each of the four nations and Regional Directors in each of the English regions with detailed knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by healthcare employers in their specific areas. Typically they are the first point of contact for local employers and stakeholders. Their day to day roles involve:
- feeding back employer and service need to government, education providers, funders and other partners
- gathering, collating and informing local labour market intelligence
- leading on the development of Sector Skills Agreements – and their resultant Action Plans
- facilitating partnership arrangements with local partners and stakeholders.
