Summary
The National Patient Safety Team is seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to take on the dual role of Product Owner & Scrum Master for the Learn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service. This is a unique opportunity to lead the delivery of a nationally significant digital product that supports safer care across the NHS.
The role is offered as a fixed term contract until 1st October 2026 due to a secondment.
As the Product Owner & Scrum Master for the LFPSE service, you will be at the heart of product delivery, combining agile facilitation with user-centred design and prioritisation. You will lead the day-to-day operations of the service, ensuring it evolves in response to user feedback and clinical needs.
You will facilitate regular stand-ups, planning sessions, and backlog refinement activities, operating within a Kanban framework to maintain delivery momentum. Your responsibilities will include managing user feedback, collaborating with developers and clinical reviewers, and ensuring stories are well-defined, testable, and ready for deployment.
The role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams including policy, data, communications, and clinical safety colleagues. You will provide regular updates to stakeholders, contribute to governance papers, and support onboarding and testing activities.
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
