Summary
The Clinical Applications Team is responsible for controlling access to, and maintenance of, clinical information systems (including RiO) across Mental Health, Community Health, Community Forensic, Low Secure and Medium and High Secure Services.
We're looking for a conscientious individual to join us in this busy team. This post is an additional temporary resource in order to help us deliver the Digi-Care programme of work to improve our use of electronic patient records.
In this post, you will be involved in enabling, modifying and removing user access to clinical information systems; creating and updating the records of healthcare professionals and admin staff; and building and maintaining key elements within the system (such as wards, clinics and teams).
The successful candidate will need to be organised, highly computer literate, and familiar with RiO or an equivalent clinical information system (ideally from within a support or systems administration role). You will also need to have excellent communication skills and an ability and willingness to learn.
Within this role you will be required to prioritise your own workload and work well with conflicting deadlines.
The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of an NHS Trust, its organisational structure and information needs, as well as having knowledge and experience of working with Caldicott and DPA/GDPR principles.

We are one of the largest mental health and community Trusts in the East Midlands and one of Nottinghamshire's biggest employers. We also host national and regional services, such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.
We offer a variety of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) groups, the Green Champions network, the Freedom to Speak Up network, the Health and Wellbeing Champions network, and the Menopause Champions network. These networks play a vital role in supporting our diverse workforce and promoting a culture of inclusivity.
The health and wellbeing of colleagues is a top priority. We invest significantly in this through our in-house occupational health and staff counselling services, supported by a dedicated Health and Wellbeing team.
