Are you ready to help shape the future of digital health and care in England? NHS England is seeking Enterprise Architects to support one of the most ambitious digital transformation programmes.
You'll play a key role in developing the models, standards and architectural approaches that underpin the NHS 10-Year Plan, ensuring systems and services work together to improve outcomes for the public patients and staff.
As an Enterprise Architect, you'll work across programmes, teams and organisations to bring clarity to complexity, helping define how business, data, digital and service capabilities evolve nationally. You'll collaborate with architects across the health and care system, contribute to the development of our enterprise architecture practice, and support the creation of a modern, interoperable technology landscape.
If you're a sharp critical thinker with strong analytical skills, a collaborative approach and a genuine commitment to public service, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact at national scale.
A traditional Enterprise Architecture background isn't essential. If you demonstrate strong critical thinking, emotional intelligence and experience in fields such as business analysis, service design, management or operational improvement, we would welcome a conversation.
