Digital Solutions Architect

It is an exciting time to join us here at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.  Digital technology is helping to change the way that we care for patients and the Digital Team is at the forefront of those changes, delivering our digital roadmap to support our clinical strategy.

This is an exciting and challenging role  that will play a key part in making a real digital difference to our Clinical and operational colleagues as well as our patients and wider Hertfordshire community. 

In this high profile role, you will be responsible for defining end to end clinical systems architecture on strategic and stand-alone IT projects.  Working closely with clinical leads right across the Trust, you will lead on the design specification and delivery of clinical systems to transform our digital systems to enhance patient care.   With the ability to visualise the bigger picture, you'll anticipate longer term requirements and create optimal design solutions.  You'll work with a variety of stakeholders, both internally and outside of the organisation, from concept through to solution, so the ability to develop and maintain excellent working relationships is vital to the success of this role.  

In addition to digital programme delivery, you will also have responsibility for managing the financial resources and contracts relating to your role, as well as leading and inspiring your team and others around you.

At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

 We run the following hospitals:

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
