Recognising the complexity of clinical and operational processes, the post holder must be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity and will work as a consensus builder to help facilitate the co-design of new processes.

• Mapping and redesigning business processes

• Capturing acceptance criteria for business requirements which accurately quantify when a requirement is considered to be met

• Translation of business requirements into cohesive, high level solution designs which can be implemented by technical teams

• Verification of implemented requirements

• Contributing to project documentation and supporting the transition of solutions into service through tasks such as user training and support

• Developing good relationships with Trust staff and communicate effectively in order to successfully capture the right information to deliver business change

• Research and understand NHS standards and statutory national requirements as required by relevant projects

• Identify and set effective working processes, practices and professional standards that could be adopted by the Digital Services department

The Digital Services team is a friendly, supportive, and dedicated group of digital professionals who are committed to providing outstanding support services to Dorset County Hospital.

The post holder will work closely with digital colleagues from services including:

• Clinical Systems
