About The Role
We’re recruiting a Digital Test Lead to play a key role in the successful rollout of Synbiotix, a Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) system, across multiple acute hospital sites.
You’ll be responsible for leading the end-to-end testing approach, including test strategy, script creation, execution, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring the system is robust, reliable, and ready for go-live.

- Design, develop, and maintain detailed test scripts aligned to business requirements
- Lead test execution, defect logging, and validation of fixes
- Work closely with project teams, stakeholders, and technical teams to ensure alignment
- Manage defect tracking and resolution using tools such as JIRA / XRAY
- Provide clear reporting on test progress, risks, and outcomes
- Ensure quality, performance, and functionality standards are met
- Identify opportunities to improve testing processes for future rollouts
