Job overview

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust is leading the integrator arrangement for Bexley’s neighbourhood model, working with partners to join up care around local residents. We are looking for an experienced Digital Project Manager to lead the development of a comprehensive baseline assessment and a clear case for change for shared care records across Bexley Care Plus, and to support delivery of system improvements that enable safe, effective information sharing. If you’re passionate about improving joined up care through better digital and data enabled ways of working, then this role is for you.

Main duties of the job

  • Lead a baseline mapping exercise for shared care records and produce an agreed case for change across Bexley Care Plus. 
  • Plan, structure and oversee the digital, data and organisational workstreams required to improve interoperability and information sharing. 
  • Work closely with neighbourhood leadership, SEL ICS digital colleagues, GPs/PCNs, local authority teams, acute partners, the third sector and Oxleas services to co-design clinical and operational use cases. 
  • Identify gaps in data, governance, consent, information standards and technical infrastructure; translate findings into practical recommendations and a delivery roadmap. 
  • Monitor progress, risks and dependencies, resolving issues and implementing corrective actions to maintain programme delivery. 
  • Support organisations to improve uptake and embedding of existing tools such as the Universal Care Plan and London Care Record. 

Working for our organisation

Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies. Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives. Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.

We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent. We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs. We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.

Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families.  This is strengthened by our new values:

  • We’re Kind
  • We’re Fair
  • We Listen
  • We Care
