Join us as we continue our journey to transform the way we deliver clinical care. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join the Digital Services Team as a Digital Change Partner. In May 2022, Ashford & St. Peter's NHS Foundation Trust and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust have implemented our new electronic patient record, Surrey Safe Care, in partnership with Cerner Millennium.

This is a key support role, ensuring the new electronic patient record is fully supported and the benefits and desired outcomes are achieved and tracked. This role will also support any other Digital projects as required supporting Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals Digital Agenda. In return, you will be working with a friendly, supportive and flexible team who are committed to providing an excellent service.

Within the team personal development is given high priority and you will be working with experienced individuals who are keen to share their knowledge. The Trust also offers opportunities for learning and development, access to the NHS Pension Scheme, NHS discounts and opportunities for flexible working.

The role reports to the Digital Change Manager and will work closely with the various Digital Services teams. This is a new role in an evolving team, requiring a flexible approach to line management structures in terms of responsibility and accountability.

Key Duties:

• To assist in the continues development of Surrey Safe Care and other Digital strategies
• To collect the necessary 'content' for the configuration of any change project from Subject Matter Experts within the organisation
• To assist with the Change Request process when appropriate
• To undertake system testing and co-ordinate UAT sign-off, as required and appropriate
• To engage with clinical staff, completing tasks appropriately and following Trust approved processes

Our vision is to be one of the best healthcare Trusts in the country. There has never been a better time to join us in the NHS at Ashford & St Peters Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with our strong commitment to staff health and wellbeing. We are committed to providing continuous professional development, staff benefits and flexibility to shape our workforce around our patient care.

Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so applicants are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
