As a vital part of NHS Scotland, NHS National Services Scotland’s mission is to enable and support the delivery of better health and better care, working in partnership. We do this by providing a range of specialised support services that enable NHS Boards to focus their efforts on delivering health improvement and patient care.
The Contract, Vendor and Service Management Team (CVSMT) provides expert advice and services across the National Health Service in Scotland and is part of the IT Strategic Business Unit. CVSMT is the principal point of contact between NHS Scotland and the suppliers of a range of National IT Service contracts, which embrace business and clinical systems at both national and local levels.
NSS, on behalf of the Health Boards and Primary Care General Practice, is procuring next-generation GP IT systems, to be delivered as a centrally hosted managed service, which will be rolled out to all GP Practices across Scotland. In order to achieve this successfully, the CVSMT is seeking to recruit a Junior Service Manager to support the Senior Service Manager and the Test Manager in the management and delivery of the specified requirements, including analysing requirements, managing changes to requirements and providing technical support to the NSS Test team. The successful applicant will be working collaboratively with three GP IT system suppliers, the NSS Test team, Clinicians, GP IT facilitators and other Subject Matter Experts under the direction of the Senior Service Manager.
You will have excellent inter-personal skills and be able to work with health professionals in NSS, NHS boards and Local Authorities. You will be able to demonstrate excellent organisational skills with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. The ability to maintain strict confidentiality is essential. You should have the ability to manage conflicting demands and differing priorities, and negotiate with and influence both customers and suppliers to agree timescales and deadlines.
