Closing date: 28 June 2026

Are you interested in helping shape the future of healthcare at Cambridge University Hospitals? Join the Digital Services Team as a Digital Systems Analyst

We are recruiting Digital Systems Analysts to join our team and play a key role in supporting and improving the digital systems used across the Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of digital transformation, helping to enhance patient care and staff experience through innovative technology solutions and workflows. You do not need a technical IT background to apply - we welcome applicants from both clinical and administrative backgrounds who are enthusiastic, curious, and passionate about improving the way we work.

Whether you are looking for a new career challenge, an opportunity to develop digital skills, or a chance to contribute to major improvement programmes, this role offers a rewarding and varied experience within a supportive team environment.

Substantive, Fixed Term Contracts and Secondment opportunities are available, making this a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in digital healthcare. For clinical staff you can still maintain your professional registration/revalidation.

Main duties of the job

As a Digital Systems Analyst, you will be responsible for the design, development, configuration, and optimisation of the Epic EPR system across various hospital departments and services, including inpatients, outpatients, theatres, pharmacy, laboratories, administration, and specialist clinical areas. Your role will involve working closely with staff to align the system with clinical best practices and optimise workflows.

You will analyse current workflows, recommend improvements, and configure the Epic EPR system to meet the hospital's needs. Responsibilities include testing system functionality, ensuring security, and providing user support, including participation in a 24/7 on-call rota as and when required.

Collaboration with cross-functional application teams will be essential to ensure the system's integrated functionality and compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. Success in this role requires strong problem solving skills, the ability to negotiate changes to clinical and administrative workflows, and the capacity to work independently to meet project deadlines.

You may also be involved in work across other digital systems across the Trust.

For clinical post holders only:

• Lead and participate in projects and areas of work, which reflect clinical, professional and corporate objectives.
• Work in clinical practice for one session per month, reviewing the service as an end user and feeding back any issues highlighted during this period.
