Business Continuity Analyst - Healthcare/Hospital

Business Continuity Analyst

Contract | On-site - Dublin Central | Major National Healthcare Programme

We are supporting a large, complex public-sector organisation delivering one of Ireland's most significant digital and infrastructure programmes: the opening of a large new healthcare facility, underpinned by a major Electronic Health Records (EHR) implementation.

As part of this programme, we are seeking Business Continuity Analysts to support go-live readiness and ensure continuity of care and operations during system outages or major incidents.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role, suited to candidates with strong business continuity experience from healthcare, technology, regulated, or other mission-critical environments.

The opportunity

• Initial 6-month contract (with potential extension)
• Full-time, on-site role at a major new national facility
• Opportunity to work on a once-in-a-generation programme with real-world impact
• Multiple positions available, including one more senior/supervisory profile and two junior/analyst-level hires.

What you'll be doing

• Developing and documenting Business Continuity Access (BCA) plans for clinical and non-clinical systems
• Designing emergency access workflows, fallback procedures and escalation paths
• Supporting go-live readiness for a large-scale EHR and hospital systems programme
• Coordinating and executing scenario testing during technical dress rehearsals
• Validating access and continuity mechanisms during simulated outages
• Working closely with clinical, operational, security and technical stakeholders
• Ensuring plans align with security and regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, NIS2)
• Producing clear documentation and reporting on risks, gaps and outcomes

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in business continuity planning within a complex or critical environment (healthcare, tech, utilities, financial services, large enterprise, etc.)
• Strong understanding of access management, emergency access or continuity controls
• Experience working to tight timelines in high-risk, high-visibility programmes
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and documentation skills
• A practical, calm, problem-solving mindset

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience with EHR platforms such as Epic or similar large enterprise systems
• Background in IT, cybersecurity, identity & access management, or service resilience
• Business Continuity or IT Service Management certifications (e.g. CBCP, ITIL)

Why this role

This is not a theoretical business continuity exercise. You will be directly involved in ensuring patient safety, operational resilience, and readiness for a nationally critical healthcare go-live.

If you have delivered business continuity in environments where failure is not an option, this will be a highly rewarding assignment.
