Job description

We have an exciting opportunity to join our IT Team as a Solutions Architect, becoming the source of technology and data technical expertise. Working collaboratively with all IT Teams, you will transform business requirements and challenges into workable technical solutions.

As the Solutions Architect, you will be key to the strategic change programme, designing highly complex technical solutions both for the Trust and the wider NWL Acute Provider Collaborative. The post holder will identify current business processes, facilitate discussions, advise stakeholders, support operational colleagues, and document new solutions end to end in support of Chelsea and Westminster NHS delivering its services.

The post is based at Harbour Yard in Chelsea, next to the River Thames, working from a modern and spacious office complex with an on-site café and parking, with excellent transport links.

With a very strong technical background across hyper-converged technologies, cloud platforms, networking, and Microsoft-based software technologies, you will provide technical subject matter and solution expertise for teams across IT.

Producing architectural roadmaps, high-level designs, and low-level designs, you will bring working groups together, consisting of both technical and non-technical parties, to transform business requirements and challenges into workable technical solutions.

The Solutions Architect will report to the Technical Architect and help transition from visionary concepts to high-level and low-level designs that will be delivered and developed, contributing to the strategic Technology and Product roadmaps for Chelsea and Westminster NHS.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of England's top-performing and safest trusts. We operate two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—along with award-winning clinics across North West London.

Our nearly 7,500 staff care for a diverse population of 1.5 million, providing full clinical services, including maternity, A&E, and children’s services, plus specialist HIV and sexual health clinics. The Care Quality Commission rates us 'Good' in safety, effectiveness, care, and responsiveness, and 'Outstanding' in leadership and resource use.

We continually invest in our facilities, including a £30m expansion of critical care at Chelsea and Westminster and an £80m Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex.

We are committed to equal opportunities and believe that diversity drives innovation and excellence. We actively welcome applications from individuals from the global majority, veterans, and underrepresented communities. We value the unique perspectives and experiences that diverse teams bring and are dedicated to creating an environment where all voices are heard, respected, and empowered to succeed.

If you haven’t heard from us within three weeks of the closing date, your application was likely unsuccessful. Employment is subject to a six-month probationary period.

Some roles may require weekend shifts at multiple sites.
