Data & Analytics Is Central To Delivering The NHS 10-Year Health Plan
Overseeing national programmes with investment exceeding £1.5 billion. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced Digital & Data Delivery Managers to join NHSE at a pivotal moment and help design & deliver some of the most ambitious digital transformation programmes ever undertaken within the NHS.
Working Within NHSE’s National Data Architecture Function
You will help drive the technical foundations of the Transforming and Connecting Care Programme. This landmark programme is transforming how health & care information is shared, enabling secure, seamless access to patient records across organisational boundaries through the development of a single patient record. The programme will create a connected digital ecosystem that supports clinicians and patients with faster, safer and more integrated services, regardless of where care is delivered.
Critical To This Transformation Are Two Critical Architectural Capabilities
Event-Based Architecture (EBA)
- Enables near real-time sharing of information between clinical and social care systems, so that key patient events, from referrals to test results, are reflected quickly & accurately across the care pathway.
National Data Architecture (NDA)
- Provides the strategic framework for defining, structuring, governing, sharing and improving data across local, regional and national NHS services, supporting a modern, interoperable health and care system.
You Will Have The Opportunity To Lead The Delivery Of Nationally Significant Products And Services That Directly Improve Patient Outcomes And Support Frontline Care
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will:
- Lead and inspire high-performing multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex national digital services safely, effectively and at pace.
- Shape and drive delivery across multiple workstreams, establishing robust governance, planning, risk management and performance reporting.
- Remove barriers to progress, facilitate informed decision-making and ensure strong alignment across technical, clinical, operational and policy stakeholders.
- Champion agile and continuous improvement approaches, helping teams deliver measurable outcomes, benefits and value for patients, clinicians and the wider health and care system.
- Build delivery capability and influence strategic decisions within one of the UK’s largest and most impactful digital transformation programmes.
Ideal Candidates
These roles are ideal for experienced delivery professionals with a strong track record of leading complex digital, data or technology programmes within multidisciplinary environments. You will be someone who thrives on collaboration, can confidently navigate ambiguity and complexity, and excels at building relationships across a broad range of stakeholders.
Experience/Knowledge
- Experience/knowledge of event-based architecture or target data architecture would be highly advantageous, but it is not essential.
