Please note this campaign is confined to staff currently employed in a senior management role in the Office of the Regional Director of People, HSE South West. Title of Post: Head of Human Resources, HR Function, Office of the Regional Director of People, HSE South West Health Region (Higher Duties) Details of Service: Human Resources (HR) provides strategic and operational support, direction, advice, and interventions to all areas of the health service, recognising that all staff throughout the system are key to the delivery of excellent people capability and ultimately patient and service user outcomes. The implementation of the Health Services People Strategy 2019 - 2024 supports the development of current and future health and social care leaders. Our shared purpose is to deliver safer better healthcare and staff and public value, and collectively support the significant reform and change agenda in Ireland, particularly in light of the objectives of Slaintecare. Sláintecare signals a new direction for the delivery of health and social care services in Ireland with the potential to create a far more sustainable, equitable, cost-effective system and one that delivers better value for patients and service users. At its core, the strategy focuses on establishing programmes of work to move to a community-led model, providing local populations with access to a comprehensive range of services at every stage of their lives. This will enable our healthcare system to provide care closer to home for patients and service users, to be more responsive to needs and deliver better outcomes, with a strong focus on prevention and population health improvement. To achieve this, new ways of working including change culture will be required in the strive to deliver enhanced patient-centered and integrated care. HR is committed to building capacity for change and addressing the people and culture priorities that impact the organisation on an integrated basis Health Regions Implementation The Health Regions Implementation involves the internal reorganisation of the HSE into six operational regions with responsibility for the planning and coordinated delivery of health and social care services within their respective defined geographies. While the full implementation will be a multi-year journey, the Health Region approach was stood up in March 2024 and will continue to progress throughout 2024 and 2025. These new arrangements aim to improve the health service’s ability to deliver timely integrated care to patients and service users, care that is planned and funded in line with their needs at regional and local level. The primary objective of this reform is to help deliver universal and integrated care for people, providing them with timely access to the care they need, when they need it. This will help to ensure that the needs of people are prioritised by promoting a culture that seeks to continuously improve the access to, and quality of, health and social care services. This will be achieved by refining processes and minimising structural barriers to integrated care thereby increasing productivity and the consistency, effectiveness, and efficiency of services. The changes in healthcare governance arrangements are being designed to make our services easier to navigate for people, and to facilitate more integrated care, stronger accountability, and greater transparency across the sector. This in turn aims to foster change and innovation at a local level to deliver high-quality services to populations based on their needs, making our service a better place to work for our staff. The move to a regionalised approach, represents a major shift in the approach to the planning, funding and delivery of health and social care services. In line with international best practice, the new arrangements will support a population-based approach to the planning and resourcing of the geographic delivery of services to improve health outcomes people in Ireland.

National HR will develop leadership content and training on behalf of the entire system, working with the Regional Directors of People to drive HR excellence across the HSE by planning, building and supporting a health and social care workforce that can deliver high-quality services and care for service users and patients. Finally, National HR will manage the deployment of NiSRP across the HSE system providing nationally defined guidance and support to the Health Regions.
