The role will include support to existing and new systems and services. The provided support will be at varied levels of scope and complexity, ranging from small changes tracked in our issue management application to managing larger projects involving other team members and stakeholders from other teams.

About NHS England
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities, and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high-quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.
Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.
Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
