In response to the findings of the Environmental Incident Management Review internal audits and complementary external reviews IM&R has initiated a programme called IMx. IMx will become the overarching wrapper for transformation of the IM Service to drive efficiency and effectiveness. IMx will design a new Target Operating Model for incident management including the establishment of clear service outcomes based on legislative requirements. The initial phase will drive stabilisation of the current service, and the establishment of the programme and transformation plan. It will involve significant cross-Agency engagement and produce a programme of works and full business case required to deliver a new Target Operating Model.
IMx is expected to deliver the new operating model design by 2025 and the detailed programme of works needed to deliver the functioning operating model. The next phase will need to deliver this programme of works. As IMx progresses it will need to operate alongside delivery of the existing service and complement existing projects in the IM Portfolio. This is an exciting time to work for the Environment Agency and within IM&R. If you are about influencing the future, creative delivery and are a great communicator and collaborator who can inspire others, then this is the job for you.
We are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share, so please include clearly any information regarding your preferred working arrangements on your application.
