South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Pathology are recruiting to the post of Deputy IT Manager.
This is a challenging and varied role, taking leadership of a dynamic and diverse team of IT professionals during a period of significant change and across a number of sites.
We are looking for someone with experience of successfully managing a team, and with the ability to learn and adapt quickly to the complex technical landscape of the service.
We are not expecting candidates to be experts in every technical aspect of the service, but rather have the ability to work closely with and get the best out of the skilled team that we have in place.
The candidate will however need the ability to understand and manage complex technical situations, and be able to quickly bring themselves up to speed with the issues at hand.
Direct experience in a laboratory/pathology environment is not essential, but will be an advantage.
The candidate will need a strong focus on service delivery, and the ability to oversee a number of diverse projects at any one time. They will need to liaise with senior managers across a number of organisations and be able to effectively hold suppliers to account when required.
Please ensure you have read the Trust guide to using AI in your application. We are interested in hearing about you and what you have to say. Applications which appear to be computer generated are unlikely to be shortlisted.
The post holder will provide overall leadership of the Pathology IT team across a number of locations in the region.
They will take a leading role in managing incidents to ensure business continuity within the regional Pathology service.
They will be responsible for development and implementation of new IT initiatives, policies and procedures, liaising and negotiating with Trust and External Suppliers where appropriate and ensuring minimum clinical risk to patients and financial risk to the Service.
They will advise the SYBP Senior Leadership Team on relevant IT issues and strategies based on changing technologies and legislation or guidelines, ensuring that our systems continue to meet user and stakeholder needs.
They will be responsible for Quality and Governance of IT systems within the Service, ensuring provision of training for staff in the use of IT systems and documentation relating to the Quality Management System (QMS).
You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
