Are you a care practitioner who is motivated and passionate about how digital systems and technology can support care services? This post may be the next move for you.
At CHSW we pride ourselves on delivering excellence to the children and families we care for and recognise the importance of digital systems to support this. We are currently embracing new ways of working and are introducing new Care Digital Information Systems.

This role can be based from any of our three hospices, with the option of some home working. You will also be required to travel to all three sites as required.
