Job overview

Shape the Future of Healthcare Automation.

Join our team as a Solutions Developer and play a key role in the Trust’s digital transformation. You’ll design, build, and implement Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions that streamline processes and improve efficiency across our internal health systems.
Working closely with Business Analysts and Programme Management, you’ll:

•     Identify automation opportunities and develop robust RPA bots using leading platforms
•     Ensure smooth integration of automation into existing systems
•     Maintain and troubleshoot automated workflows to meet quality standards
•     Explore and implement emerging technologies, including AI and interface systems like Rhapsody

We welcome developers with experience in Microsoft .NET and C#, but skills in scripting languages such as JavaScript and Python are equally valuable for integrating with diverse systems and data sources. A strong aptitude for learning and applying new technologies—especially in the RPA space—is essential.

You may also work with specialized tools like Arden Syntax for Medical Logic Modules within our Altera Healthcare System, offering a chance to deepen your technical expertise in a meaningful healthcare setting.

If you're ready to make a tangible impact through smart automation, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll also:
•     Monitor and maintain deployed bots, troubleshoot issues, and provide technical support
•     Explore wider technologies in the Trust’s portfolio, including C#, JavaScript, and Python
•     Work with interface systems like Rhapsody to connect and enhance digital workflows
