The Privacy, Transparency & Trust (PTT) Sub-directorate is a sub-directorate of the Technology, Digital and Data Directorate. The mission of the PTT Sub-directorate is to enable NHS England to drive innovation and improve lives through greater use of data and technology and to be a well-run organisation.
The PTT Sub-directorate enables and promotes public trust in NHS England’s custodianship of staff, workforce and patient data, aligning with NHS England’s legal duty to respect and promote the privacy of patients and uphold the principles that underpin NHS England as a safe haven for patient data.
The Freedom To Speak Up Team is hosted by NHS England in the PTT Sub-directorate and includes an internal FTSU team that supports a speaking up service across NHSE; a casework team that manages the whistleblowing cases we receive in respect of our statutory role as a prescribed body; and an improvement team that works with FTSU Guardians and other stakeholders across the NHS to support the development of speaking up cultures.
Please note for this role we have 2 x FTE available
The role will either lead on managing whistleblowing casework, ensuring handling is sensitive, co-ordinated with our regional FTSU Leads or work with FTSU Guardians and other stakeholders across the NHS to support the development of speaking up cultures.
The casework role will play a leading part in providing an outstanding, accessible, responsive, and customer-focused service for our whistleblowers; as well as work with regional subject matter experts to evaluate and respond to the risks presented to us. You will be joining a team that is known for its independence, rigour and integrity.
The improvement role will work with FTSU Guardians and internal and external stakeholders to ensure best practice is shared across the NHS, including the regional teams to support ICBs and NHS organisations appropriately.
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.

Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
Delivering value for money.
