East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to join the Trust's Business Informatics department.
ESNEFT has selected Epic as their provider for a new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. This role offers the opportunity to develop processes and clinical pathways using a best-in-class EPR, supporting the Trust's goal of excellence across healthcare roles. Our Epic EPR will benefit all clinical and operational areas, aligning with the Trust strategy to harmonise services and patient pathways.
We are seeking an Interim Cogito/Caboodle Data Engineer to support reporting and regulatory submissions within ESNEFT's Epic EPR environment. The role ensures that ESNEFT has a comprehensive suite of reports ready for the Epic EPR go-live in October 2025 and that all regulatory reporting requirements are met.
Applicants must be Epic certified with Cogito and/or Caboodle, due to the interim nature of the role.
Internal applicants currently employed by ESNEFT will be offered this position on a secondment basis only.
The role can be predominantly home-based, with occasional on-site presence as required.
