This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of digital transformation, helping to improve patient care, operational efficiency and staff experience through effective digital solutions and workflow improvement.

You will work closely with clinical, operational and technical colleagues to understand service needs, support system changes, resolve complex issues and help ensure digital systems are safe, effective and fit for purpose.
