Agentic AI Engineer

Thames Valley Integrated Care Board is looking for an Agentic AI Engineer to lead the design, build and operation of our new AWS Bedrock platform, applying agentic AI to the corporate aspects of the ICB.

This is a corporate-facing role: your focus will be on driving efficiency, quality and automation in the day-to-day roles and processes the ICB performs — from administrative and operational workflows through to knowledge management and decision support — rather than clinical or direct care systems. You'll design, build and maintain secure agentic AI systems, copilots and intelligent automation services, ensuring their safe, governed and effective adoption across the organisation.

You'll be building the ICB's new agentic AI capability from the ground up, with a direct mandate to drive efficiency and automation across the corporate functions that support 2.5 million people across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
