Are you ready to join a team shaping the future of digital healthcare across England? Do you want to apply your architectural skills to services that impact millions of patients, clinicians, and NHS staff every day?
NHS England is looking for experienced Solution Architects to help design modern, secure, and interoperable digital services.
If you're passionate about designing high-quality, user-centred solutions--and want to grow your career within a supportive, nationally focused architecture community--this could be the ideal opportunity.
Digital transformation is central to the NHS's long-term ambitions. This is an exciting time to join NHS England and help design services that operate at national scale, supporting clinical delivery, improving patient experience, and strengthening the digital foundations of the health and care system.
Our Solution Architecture function provides architectural design and technical consultancy across national programmes. You will work within multidisciplinary teams shaping the architecture of major national services, platforms, and capabilities--from citizen-facing applications to critical national infrastructure.
What's in it for you
You can find further details about the role, including key responsibilities and accountabilities, alongside the organisational structure and person specification in the attached Job Description and other supporting documents.
Some roles may require the successful candidate to hold, or be willing to obtain, Security Check (SC) clearance.
To meet National Security Vetting requirements, SC clearances require 5 years continuous UK residency. In certain cases, this can be reduced to three years continuous UK residency, with additional overseas checks for the previous two years.
Candidates who were posted abroad for service with HM Government, Armed Forces or within a UK government role - will still be considered.

The post of Solution Architect has been awarded a Recruitment and Retention Premia (RRP) in response to current labour market conditions. In recognition of this, the role attracts an additional monthly RRP payment equal to 15% per annum.
Please be aware that RRP is non-contractual and subject to review.
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.
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
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.
