You will become a subject matter expert for a number of automation solutions for the Trust and also will be expected to take the lead on larger projects with support from the wider RPA Team.

  This is a role that opens many opportunities throughout the Trust through exposure to a wide range of staff and processes. You would be involved from scoping to delivery in this fast-paced environment.

  About us

  NUH has over 18,000 staff and believes in helping those staff constantly improve their skills and knowledge. This is an exciting time to be part of Digital Services at NUH as we embark on the replacement of our existing EPR systems and deploy digital solutions which will support our staff and process for the next 5 - 10 years.

  A significant proportion of the RPA team will continue to work from home using loaned NUH equipment. However, there is an ongoing expectation for team members to be on-site at City and QMC hospitals, and to travel between sites as required. A free Medilink bus service is available for staff to support this travel. NUH is currently reviewing its blended working arrangements, and future requirements may include increased on-site presence depending on operational needs.

• 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.
