Summary

In the Department of Health and Social Care, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we would love to hear from you.

The Technology Services team supports DHSC by delivering excellence in customer service and IT service delivery. Our role is to enable DHSC users to deliver on their commitments through stable, resilient, highly available IT services and business systems that meet their needs.

Technology Services is comprised of 2 teams, delivering the core technology infrastructure and associated services, and key business systems. Both teams have a prime directive to deliver a quality customer service and robust, performant services to DHSC.

The teams deliver in line with DDAT standards and use ITIL service management processes to ensure effective delivery. These teams exist in the wider Workplace, Information, Security and Technology Directorate (WIST) which provides strategic leadership on property, technology, information management and security services across DHSC and its arm's length bodies.

Managing a team of 5 staff you will provide leadership in the Service Management and delivery of business systems using ITIL based processes. A strong interest and experience in Microsoft cloud technologies is essential.
