Job Advert
We have an exciting opportunity for an Applications Manager based in NHSL Headquarters, Kirklands working Monday to Friday, 9:00-5:00.
(Please note: the successful candidate may be required to participate in the department On Call rota.)
This is a hands on senior post in the eHealth Department. The post is positioned within an existing small technical development team located within the Digital Transformation division within the wider eHealth department that supports a diverse range of services within the local organisation in addition to external parties and suppliers. You will be in an important position to directly contribute to shape the future of NHSL’s eHealth strategy to benefit end users and patient care.
The post is primarily a developer/designer role but you may be called onto support more general work requests from supported services.
