Main duties of the job

Job description
Job responsibilities
Anyone assigned to eCare will integrate fully into the project, learning the new application and feed back knowledge to the C&B Team as a whole. It's important we all learn about eCare and are ready to support as it goes Live. All C&B Team members will assist one another to achieve our aims. One of the first deliverables for the team is the Data Collection Worksheets that define the data configuration on the new system.
Our team remit covers access to the Application, User support and system configuration but we may need to evolve this as the project matures. We need to understand this new Application fully in order to assist our Users with any issues and training will be provided. We need to build in good practice in our future Business As Usual processes and adjust to the new application.
You will be working within workstreams on eCare and will be part of the wider project teams. It is very much about cross-team working and progressing the project forward. We are expecting eCare to go live in Spring 2025.
You will be well supported by C&B System Specialists and C&B Team Leaders in your role within the Clinical & Business Team.
