Summary
The 48-strong DHSC Digital Transformation team works with the national health and care system to realise the benefits of digital, data and technology, to deliver better end to end services for their users and for the professionals who provide them.
We don’t manage live digital services; our role is more strategic. We partner with policy and commissioning teams to deliver user centred, design-led change, and to act as a bridge between policy and digital delivery teams. We support the Department and its arms' length bodies in a range of different ways - from providing short-term consultancy advice and digital training, to running full discoveries and alphas, and embedding team members in wider beta or live delivery teams.
We champion standards, user-centred design and accessibility in everything that we do.
As a digital business partner, you will build effective relationships across your own portfolio of DHSC policy teams and partner organisations. You will help senior stakeholders translate their needs and priorities into digital and technology pipelines and projects. You will provide early-stage digital expertise and advice, and signpost to the full range of services provided by the wider digital transformation team – specialist advice, delivery, training and assurance. You will support stakeholders through their digital journey and help them deliver excellent outcomes and services.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help the current head of digital business partnering to build this new function, and to do that within a supportive, friendly digital team. You might be a specialist in one area looking for a new challenge, or an excellent communicator with a working knowledge of digital in government. We’re looking for rounded, talented individuals who can engage with stakeholders at all levels, communicate technical concepts clearly, and build relationships.

- Work closely with relevant policy teams and/or ALBs to identify and promote opportunities for the adoption of Digital ways of working, acting as the bridge between DT and ALB or policy teams;
- Provide tailored support to policy teams and/or ALBs seeking to work with DT or to procure Digital suppliers;
- As a member of the DT team, work across the DHSC and ALB network to maximise opportunities for knowledge-sharing and Digital collaboration, to increase the impact of DT’s work;
- Ensure timely and accurate reporting on project and sector developments in your portfolio, working with colleagues in other portfolios and the wider DT team to identify barriers to success and opportunities for productive intervention and/or support;
