Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System
Fixed term / secondment opportunity for 2 years as a Technical Adviser to the Ecosystems Platform
Project; closing date Monday 23 May 2022
NHS Pay Band 8b-8c depending on experience, equivalent salary range £54,764 to £65,664
Hosted by Nottinghamshire County Council
Background
It is an exciting time to join our Integrated Care System (ICS) in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Our partners put people, teams and communities at the heart of what they do. By joining the £4.3 million Ecosystems Platform Project, you will become part of a new team working on the development of a new ecosystems capability for all of our health and care system. You will be providing technical advice and support to colleagues and experts across the wider ICS, as each of those organisations learn how to extract key data from clinical application systems and social care systems and make this data available in a number of ways to users in our complex, busy, health and care system.
You will be working with 3 NHS trusts, 2 councils and the data management team of the CCG; each of them will be looking to welcome new talent into their development teams to better deliver the digitisation and integration objectives which are critical to the success of this project.
You will also be working closely with the Interweave consortium, which developed the Yorkshire and Humber Care Record, so that the N&N instance of Interweave , hosted by Google Cloud, can be developed to meet the specific needs of the N&N Ecosystem Platform.
The following are a summary of the type of work you will be doing:
You will be operating at 2 or 3 of these levels in the SFIA framework[1]: DBAD5, ITOP4 and NTAS5.
You will need
We will be following DevOps and Agile software development practises. You must be able to demonstrate competency in integration work using RESTful APIs, OAuth, FHIR & HL7 v2/3 and you will need to demonstrate experience in 2 or more of the following technologies to the above levels of competency:
Partners in the ICS
Partner organisations across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are proud to work as an Integrated Care System. We know that by working more closely together, and trying new ways of working, we will be better able to support our residents and communities to access a range of health and care services across organisational boundaries.
We also know that without the right technology, our service transformation will be limited in scale and our teams will continue to encounter barriers to truly integrated working.
So this is one of a number of projects to ensure health and care professionals across our ICS can access the data, information and tools they need, where and when they need them.
This is an excellent opportunity to join us on our journey to health and care integration. You will play a key role in supporting teams within the above organisations and across boundaries to work together more seamlessly, to have a better digital user experience and to transform our resident’s health and wellbeing and their experience of health and care in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
