HealthSet Programme Resourcing Manager

Job overview

Recruitment is now underway for the Resourcing Manager role within Healthset, our joint programme to deliver a single shared electronic health record (EHR) across Dorset and Somerset, powered by Epic. This once in a generation programme will transform how care is delivered and information is recorded, shared and accessed, enabling colleagues to spend less time working around systems and more time caring.

The contract with Epic was signed in March, and we are expecting the new EHR to go live in April 2028. Successful delivery must be genuinely clinically and operationally led, supported by the expertise of our digital teams.

Our teams deliver safe, compassionate care every day, but we still rely on multiple systems, separate records and paper processes. This can mean patients repeating their story and colleagues spending valuable time duplicating work or managing gaps in information. For our digital teams, this means managing multiple systems and data sources to support users to deliver services. Healthset is our shared response. By introducing one EHR across our organisations, we will support more joined up working, safer decision-making and better use of information, freeing up more time for care.

Main duties of the job

We want you!

At its peak the Healthset team will include over three hundred people and Healthset is a ten-year programme. Roles required only during the initial two-year implementation phase will be filled through secondments, fixed term contracts or external contractors. All other roles will be permanent posts. We are committed to equitable access to these opportunities and will consider part‑time working and reasonable adjustments where required.

The HealthSet Resourcing Manager will have an integral role in building the Programme team. You will manage multiple vacancies simultaneously, giving candidates an excellent experience, to ensure the right people are recruited to the right role at the right time. You will work with a range of colleagues and stakeholders from across the four NHS Foundations to ensure all resourcing related activity is delivered on time and within agreed budgets. You will be an ambassador of the Healthset Programme, promoting roles and opportunities to colleagues across Somerset and Dorset.
