This is a hands on post in the eHealth Department. The post is positioned in an existing small technical development & support team located within the Digital Transformation division within the wider eHealth department which supports a diverse range of services within the local organisation in addition to external parties and suppliers.
The post is a more junior, but important role within the team. A large amount of day to day work will be performing a web content management (CMS) developer/designer role together with elements of general support for systems covered by the team including end user support.

Applications from recent graduates that can demonstrate web content development and programming skills and knowledge will be welcomed and given equal consideration to those who can demonstrate a more comprehensive work experience.
