This role is an exciting opportunity to spearhead the Trust's RPA journey.

Main duties of the job
The jobholder will be responsible for the design and creation of robotic process automation (RPA) solutions and for the integration of these into, and between, existing systems. Providing cost-effective, risk-controlled, robust, reliable, responsive and secure automation solutions, this role will support clinical and corporate transformation needs to assist the organisation in delivering its strategy.
Job responsibilities
The jobholder will be a subject matter RPA expert able to offer training, support and development for others. Working independently and as part of the wider team, the role will include: participating in all aspects of RPA process design; system integration; solution development; authoring controls and standards; authoring of documentation; software tools design; programming and technical implementation across the entire automation development lifecycle; the creation of complex functional specifications; application programming across a range of technology platforms; and systems integration, testing and deployment.
Identifying requirements for new automation and integration applications, the jobholder will input into the robotic automation and development programme of work by recommending future developments and ensuring that robotic automation is developed in a cost-effective and professional manner, which meets the Trust's operational needs whilst maintaining system security and data integrity.
The jobholder will also be expected to be capable of managing the day-to-day operation of the RPA platform and processes ensuring the platform is optimised and running effectively, managing process schedules, maintaining reporting statistics, working with the supplier or other IM&T colleagues on any upgrades required, managing patch compliance, reviewing exceptions, writing operational support procedures on a per-process basis, working with the supplier on any outages or issues and any other operational requirements relating to building and running RPA processes. The Trust envisages that as the RPA portfolio scales up, the operational running of the platform will be primarily handled by a Robotics Operator but the Senior RPA Developer will be responsible for this until such a point.
