The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is a key regulatory body in the health and social care system in England. Our purpose is to ensure that health and care services provide safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and to encourage continuous improvement.

In the past 12 months, CQC has undergone significant changes under our new Chief Executive, Sir Julian Hartley, who is leading a major programme of reform to position us as an expert regulator of the future.

We aim to make our regulation more relevant, flexible, and responsive to the evolving health and social care environment, focusing on managing risk and uncertainty effectively. Sir Julian has outlined immediate priorities and foundational improvements to guide our progress.

We have recently appointed new leaders and are now seeking a Chief Digital, Data and Registration Officer (CDDRO) to provide senior leadership across Technology, Data & Insight, and Registration functions. This role is vital in delivering a modern, intelligence-led regulatory model that supports safe, effective, compassionate, and high-quality care across England's health and social care system.

We invite an exceptional individual who can inspire trust and confidence among the public and professionals at all levels to apply. If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity and possess the skills, experience, and ambition required, we look forward to your application.
