Detailed job description and main responsibilities
As an RPA/Automation Developer you will deliver projects from concept to implementation, ensuring alignment with Group Digital Strategy. You will be ensuring all automation solutions meet clinical safety, security and governance standards and be providing expert advice around RPA to stakeholders. It will be essential that the post holder maintains up to date knowledge of RPA technologies and be a point of contact to advise on new tools and their suitability. In order to build the automation capabilities of the organisation, skill transfer, training and mentoring of junior staff will form part of this role.
Person specification
Experience
* Demonstrable experience designing, developing, and deploying automation solutions at scale.
* Experience designing technical specification documents for RPA project.
Qualifications
* Educated to Degree Level in I.T/Computer Science related discipline, or equivalent experience
* Evidence of continued professional development in RPA or automation technologies (e.g., UiPath, Blue Prism, Power Automate certification).
To support this vision, we are (where appropriate and safe to do so) actively looking at new models of care which:
* Better protect elective / planned care service delivery across the system by organising on a 'hot and cold' arrangement
* Consider the optimal use of resources through consolidation and specialisation, and
* Seek to reduce unwarranted variance, level up / standardise care through a 'Networked Service Solution' approach across the four sites
Against this context, although this post is hosted by Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, there may be an expectation to work flexibly across the four partner Trusts to better meet patient and service needs.
As a major employer in the Black Country and West Birmingham region we are committed to supporting all employees to achieve a healthy work life balance. We want the Black Country and West Birmingham region to be the best place to work and as such will consider all requests to work flexibly taking into account personal and individual circumstances alongside the needs of the service. We encourage all prospective applicants to discuss their individual circumstances with the Recruiting Manager as part of the onboarding process.
Healthcare services have a significant impact on the environment. We are committed to embedding sustainable practices. We expect all colleagues to support the delivery of our Green Strategic Plan and to drive positive changes in their department by joining our Green Impact programme.
