The Trust has a high and increasing demand for automation, and limited development capacity.

• Analyse and assess requests within the Trust's RPA pipeline
• Work with clinical, operational and corporate teams to understand current processes and identify automation opportunities
• Produce clear Process Design Documentation (PDD) to support RPA development
• Quantify and articulate the value of automation opportunities, including:
  • Cost savings and cost avoidance
  • Staff time released
  • Operational efficiency improvements
  • Potential clinical or patient safety benefits
• Support prioritisation decisions where demand exceeds available development capacity
• Proactively identify high-value automation opportunities, including in areas where requests have not yet been raised
• Act as a link between service areas and RPA developers, ensuring requirements are clear, agreed and well documented

Essential Skills & Experience

• Experience working with Robotic Process Automation or similar automation technologies in a NHS environment (essential need by the client).
• Proven experience as a Business Analyst on NHS projects/programmes.
• Strong process analysis and documentation skills
• Experience developing business cases or benefits assessments
• Ability to engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders, including clinical and non-clinical teams
