We are seeking a committed individual to join our eHealth Applications Team. Working as part of a small team. You will be providing first line application support and training for many of our clinical and patient information systems used by a large number of multi-disciplinary users across NHS Orkney.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to work under pressure and as part of a team are essential.  Providing day to day support for acute clinical system users. The post holder will be expected to resolve application issues using their own initiative, or triage these to more senior colleagues or external suppliers as necessary.

Candidates should be qualified to a minimum of HNC level in relevant IT or other relevant subjects and have experience of using Microsoft Office products to an advanced level.  A working knowledge of clinical systems used within the NHS would be advantageous.

For more information about this role please contact Sandra Stankus, eHealth and Infrastructure Team Lead by email at Sandra.stankus@nhs.scot or on 07867 140629

*Starting from 1 April 2024, the working week for NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland will be reduced.  Full-time hours will be reduced from 37.5 to 37 hours, and part-time staff will get a pro-rata reduction in their working hours without losing any earnings.

Although NHS Orkney will implement this change, it may not be possible to transition fully from 1 April. Therefore, there may be some areas in the organisation where implementation may take longer. If the department cannot safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1st April, you may be required to work 37.5 hours per week (pro rata for part-time staff) until the department can meet the requirements without impacting patient safety. Of course, you will be remunerated accordingly.

NHS Orkney is committed to fully implementing the 37-hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe to do so.

NHS Orkney is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Orkney welcomes applications from all sections of society.
