We are searching for our new Deputy Chief Information Officer who can provide expertise to the development of Digital across our Trust and with our system partners. 

You will act as senior advisor with significant expert knowledge on digital services, supporting the CIO, the Executive Team, and the Trust Board. You will help develop and deliver our UHS Digital strategy, in addition to working on the key UHS and System programmes – such as the Hampshire & Isle of Wight OneEPR.  

Extensive stakeholder management experience is essential in this role, as you will manage all aspects of the Digital business, supporting and advising senior managers, deputising for Jason Teoh our Chief Information Officer, and representing the team at Board level. You will have a track record of enhancing customer experience and delivering service improvements at scale and pace.

You will lead and support diversity of talent, ensuring everyone can thrive and belong at UHS.

We are a dynamic and fast paced environment, which is always evolving and always improving and encourages innovation. We are committed to your career journey and offer a supportive, flexible and collaborative working environment.

Working for our organisation

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
