The Clinical Systems team is called on to provide timely development and deployment of customised systems in response to emerging needs, whether these are driven by developments in clinical practice or changes to local and national reporting requirements.

You will support the day-to-day system management and administration of critical clinical systems across the Trust. This will involve the working with departments to ensure that solutions are designed and built to support service delivery and fit into the wider digital strategy, through to implementation and on-going support and maintenance. You will participate in discussions, explaining complex and sensitive information from Clinical Systems, which can relate to clinical performance, to senior clinical and non-clinical staff in situations where the information may be contentious and open to different interpretations. The post-holder will need to be adaptable and capable of using their judgement to prioritise and make decisions. They must be prepared to listen to and understand System and Quality Management issues raised by users, and successfully resolve any problems identified. The post-holder will be expected to convey a positive, professional image, representing the Digital Team. They must demonstrate a proactive approach to meet requests for support, and exercise appropriate initiative in a high profile and busy environment and be able to demonstrate the ability to liaise effectively and confidently with people at all levels.
