We exist to make a positive difference - to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care.

Our employees are drawn from many walks of life - we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyerstogether we are so much more.

The person

You will be able to contribute and deliver to the strategic agenda within the patch that you will manage in the region.

You will have direct line management of RCN Officers and manage and undertake some of the more complex case work that arises within the patch.

You will need to have good communication skills, be able to challenge and negotiate skilfully and have the ability to work with a range of stakeholders across a variety of health and care settings.

You will need to be able to travel within London to enable us to support and advocate for our members when required.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do.

The ability to foster strong professional relationships and encourage close collaboration between departments is at the heart of this leadership role.

We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
