The Automation Developer will be a key part of this team and will be essential to further expand our capacity to improve clinical and administrative pathways.
About the Automation Programme

The programme is actively exploring using AI, such as Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Copilot Studio to create AI agents to support staff. The ideal postholder will be a collaborative and inquisitive individual who is self-motivated, adaptable, and driven to help expand the organisation’s capability to improve clinical and administrative pathways through automation and emerging technologies.
About the Role
The Trust’s Automation programme aims to fundamentally enhance and update our care model and contribute to productivity. To do this, we aspire to continually enhance the quality of automation we deliver, to support the outcomes our patients achieve as a result, and their experience of our services. We must meanwhile future-proof the organisation and protect our world-leading services and research by making care delivery as efficient as possible. To do so we aim to use automation to leverage our existing clinical and administrative resources whilst taking advantage of emerging healthcare technologies.
