We are offering a secondment opportunity from August 2026 to May/June 2027 for a Deputy Applications Managers within the ASAP and Orders/Bugsy teams in the Inpatient area of the ITCS directorate.

The role includes responsibility for configuring Epic ASAP or Orders/Bugsy modules and supporting the Application Manager with WOT (Workflow Optimisation Team) activities, project governance, reporting, and upgrades.

This is a hybrid role (50/50) and may require travel between Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital, and Royal Brompton and Harefield sites.

The ITCS team support and maintain a portfolio of Epic and non-Epic solutions and products that are essential to the smooth running of multiple busy, cutting-edge, highly digitised services across GSTT and KCH. We are seeking someone who has a strong aptitude for digital systems and is a natural born problem solver. Equally as important to these skills will be an understanding of workflow and processes required in an acute NHS Trust and/ or community settings.

Experience in project management and/or change management methodologies and techniques together with experience of managing team members are essential for this role.

As a Deputy Applications Manager for the Clinical Systems team the post holder has overall responsibility for the team who will configure the Epic modules and other software applications for the areas of care delivery within which their role is based. This will involve line management of a number of analysts, who you will support, coach and mentor to achieve the team’s goals. Key duties will involve working closely with external stakeholders to review, design, configure, test and deploy workflows and clinical content within Epic.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) are two of London's largest and busiest teaching hospitals, with a long and proud history, international reputations for their speciality services, teaching and research excellence, and a strong profile of local services to local residents in South East London. Together the Trusts have an annual turnover of nearly £3bn and employ around 49,000 staff, with main GSTT sites at St Thomas' Hospital and Guy's Hospital, and main KCH sites at King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, the Princess Royal University Hospital, Bromley and Orpington Hospital. The Trusts are key partners within King's Health Partners AHSC(KHP), and Guy's and St Thomas' merged with the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS FT (RBH) in the Spring of 2021.

The two Trusts share a Chief Digital Information Officer (CDIO) and a vision for digital services that are lean and agile, that maximise the benefits of a shared service operating model, and deliver the digital ambition for both Trusts. This ambition is supported by a forward-looking and strategic approach, and significant investment in a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) which will catalyse a programme of work across both Trusts to transform the way technology and data is used across our services.

• Supporting and coach the analyst team to maintain their Epic Accreditation and develop their analytical skills

• Managing, co-ordinating and leading a multi-disciplinary configuration team ensuring a consistent approach to the configuration and integration between the modules and across the wider team.

• Supporting complex Epic software demonstrations and present information on the teams’ progress adapted in a way in which makes it easy for the audience to understand.
