Job overview

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) is seeking a Chief Clinical Information Officer (CCIO) to lead digital transformation across our integrated mental health, community and specialist services.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of patient care at the heart of one of the UK’s most dynamic health ecosystems, working alongside world-class academic, clinical, and digital partners.

The role combines strategic leadership with hands-on clinical practice. You will champion clinically-led digital innovation, ensure safe and inclusive digital solutions, and act as a trusted advisor to the Board. You’ll also help drive system-wide digital collaborations.

We welcome applications from senior clinicians (medical or non-medical) with strong informatics leadership experience and a commitment to improving patient outcomes through technology, data, and co-designed innovation.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will undertake regular clinical duties equivalent to Programmed Activities (PAs) for a consultant or Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) for non-medical staff.

The clinical component will be tailored to the candidate’s background and professional interests, and agreed with the relevant Clinical Director and the Chief Medical Officer. Clinical work may be undertaken in mental health, physical health, or specialist services.

The post holder must be clinically competent and professionally registered (GMC specialist register, NMC, HCPC) and meet Trust standards for revalidation, CPD, supervision, and appraisal. The clinical component is substantive, not honorary, and the post holder is expected to deliver direct patient care.

Working for our organisation

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.

To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including people with long-term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.

Please be advised we reserve the right to close adverts earlier than the closing date should we receive sufficient applications.

Regrettably, we cannot offer sponsorship for all our job roles. If you apply for a role that we cannot offer sponsorship for, unfortunately, your application form will be rejected from the process.
