  • Ensuring processes and policies are effective and followed, and contributing to ongoing improvements in ways of working
  • Playing a key role in delivery decision making and understanding, exploring and mitigating any risks associated
  • Motivating the development team to progress work and maintain a high standard.
  • Acting as Scrum Master during daily sprint calls and the conduit between the delivery team, stakeholders and other NHSBT managers to align dates and identify dependencies.
  • Reporting on measures of success to demonstrate success of delivery and implementation

  You will be required to travel and spend time away from base, which will involve working irregular hours and overnight stays when required, with prior notice

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
