Job summary

Help us prepare our people and services for EPR

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Digital Transformation Unit and play a key role in supporting the transformation and engagement activity associated with our Electronic Patient Record (EPR) programme.

Introducing an EPR is about much more than implementing new technology. It involves changing the way people work, supporting teams through that change and ensuring colleagues are informed, engaged and prepared for new ways of working.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Programme Facilitator who can work alongside clinical and operational teams to help make that change happen.

You'll be someone who enjoys working with people and bringing them with you through change.

You'll need excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be confident facilitating groups and be able to explain complex information clearly. Strong organisation, problem-solving and analytical skills will also be important, alongside an understanding of project, change or service improvement approaches.

Experience of project or programme management within the NHS or public sector, supporting NHS service improvement, facilitating or training groups, and knowledge of acute hospital services are identified as desirable in the person specification

If you are passionate about improving services, engaging people in change, and helping deliver successful transformation, we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

About us

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
