**Job summary**:
At the Department of Health and Social Care, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we would love to hear from you.

The digital transformation team is in a joint unit between the department and NHS England. We are a dynamic and growing team with a great culture. As digital and technology are critical to delivery in health and social care, there are plenty of opportunities for interesting and exciting work.

In the digital transformation team, we work in agile, user-centred ways. We collaborate with policymakers, service teams and commissioners to help deliver policies and services that work for a wide variety of users, including frontline healthcare workers, social care staff and members of the public. We champion inclusive design and accessibility and are passionate about reducing health inequalities.

Most of our work is in the discovery and alpha phases of projects, consulting with teams to ensure that we are focussed on solving the right problems and getting the best outcomes. We support teams to deliver digital products and services, but do not own specific services long term. Some of our recent projects include Better Health: Rewards, adult social care workforce, weight management services and digital health checks.

Each of our job families (delivery, product, user centred design and technology) are linked to wider communities of practice, so we can offer continued learning and development, support and training opportunities.

**Job description**:

- The digital and technology assurance team applies national digital and technology standards and spend controls to projects right across health and care. The team checks that what we build and buy meets modern standards, meets user needs and provides good value. The team of digital and technology advisers supports product and service teams across 17 national organisations, ICS's and Trusts, advising on a wide range of projects, from £100k websites to multi-million pound projects, from citizen services like ‘Book a vaccine’ and mobile apps for clinicians to technology infrastructure. The team also organises assessments of every new digital services on gov.uk, nhs.uk and elsewhere.**Person specification**:

- Support, advise and challenge teams on technology projects
- Ensure services are rigorously assessed against mandatory service standards
- Work closely with team members and Cabinet Office to operate digital and technology spend controls and approvals, and manage the overall health pipeline

- Help build digital and technology capability in teams and organisations across health so that collectively we build excellent services for citizens and healthcare professionals
- Manage one or two members of staff and potentially contractors or suppliers

**We are looking for evidence of the following**:

- Experience of advising senior stakeholders on technology requirements
- Experience of explaining technical concepts such as cloud hosting, coding in the open or discovery to teams with lower digital capability
- Experience of working with or delivering services which meet the Government Service Standard and/or Technology Code of Practice or something similar outside of government.
- Experience of working alongside a user centred design function Communication skills: You can listen to the needs of technical and business stakeholders, and interpret them in a way that is clear for both audiences.
