The successful candidate will be responsible for managing an ambitious programme of digital developments at Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
This is an excellent opportunity to support the direction of travel outlined in Scotland’s Digital Health & Care Strategy and Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s Digital Strategy, helping the organisation to drive the use of technology, from rethinking our products, to automating routine work, to using data to drive to decisions.
