### Job overview

We are seeking an experienced and driven System Manager to take a leading role in developing and managing the Trust’s risk information management system - Ideagen Healthcare Guardian (formally InPhase).

This is a critical role at the centre of our quality governance framework. You will be the Trust’s expert for its information risk management system.

### Main duties of the job

In this role, you will:

- Support the Information System Lead for Ideagen (InPhase) in leading its configuration, optimisation, and ongoing development

- Lead system change control, upgrades, and development, working closely with suppliers and internal stakeholders
