About Welbeck Health Partners

We know new healthcare models can drive significant quality and efficiency benefits in markets around the world. Our model is based on partnering with Doctors to build and operate highly focused clinics, which specialise in single medical specialities such as Endoscopy, Orthopaedics or Cardiology. We are based in London and have a number of other exciting projects across the UK and further afield.

We recognise there is a huge opportunity to embrace modern IT in healthcare and are doing exciting and innovative things. We believe we can drive significant differentiation by fully utilising information technology to deliver better outcomes, better patient experience and more efficient care.

The role

We are looking for an IT Specialist to join our systems and interoperability team. This team is key to our success, responsible for selecting, implementing and continuously improving our clinical and nonclinical systems; and ensuring they speak to each effectively to support our operations.

This is a great opportunity to join a fast growing organization within an exciting team; work on innovative projects; contribute to the success of the organsation; and build a broad range of skills and knowledge.

You may also work with IT vendors and external contractors to complete these projects. Alongside executing projects we hope your passion for delivering the best systems will be a constant source of ideas for continued improvement.

You will become an expert in our systems, their capabilities and limitations. You will help teams across the business by identifying IT solutions to their problems, ensuring we use our systems to support efficient, effective processes across the business. We hope your passion will also lead to identification of new opportunities to utilise IT to improve business processes or do new, innovative things.

You will also act as an escalation point for complex IT queries. Working closely with your line manager and IT Support you will troubleshoot and resolve complex issues with our medical (e.g. EHR, Clinical documentation, PACS, patient app, Integration engine etc) and non-clinical (Phone system, network infrastructure, email, company file system etc) systems.
