As an Application Developer, you will be part of the wider Application Management Services (AMS) team, who provide support and development for our clinical systems, electronic patient record and Microsoft 365 platform. In this role, you will be responsible for system configuration and developing functionality to deliver solutions that assist Trust staff in their day-to-day activities.

Working within a large service-driven organisation, you will maintain services and develop solutions that support both frontline and back-office staff, ultimately contributing to the delivery of high-quality patient care within the NHS. You will collaborate with a large diverse, multi-skilled team, leveraging your skills by working together towards common goals and objectives.
