Job overview
NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB have an exciting opportunity for a Senior EPRR Manager in our Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) Team.

We are looking for a passionate, experienced resilience professional. If this is you, we would look forward to receiving your application.
Working for our organisation
Surrey Heartlands is a partnership of organisations working together - with staff, patients, their carers, families, and the public - to support people to live healthier lives. Surrey Heartlands developed into an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in July 2022, working through 4 Integrated, dynamic, and sustainable place-based partnerships (our Places), each working together to deliver a shared vision across Surrey.
The 4 Place partnerships are known as:
Guildford and Waverley Alliance
Surrey Downs Health and Care
East Surrey Place
North West Surrey Alliance
We have an ambitious vision for transformation and continuous improvement of health and care across our footprint and to deliver our objectives we need a team of capable, collaborative professionals who share the same vision. We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better patient outcomes.
We welcome all applications, especially those from underrepresented communities, including people with a disability, and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
