Job overview

Provide expert system-level support and technical oversight across all Soft FM digital platforms, including CAFM,  Power BI, SharePoint and PowerApps. Lead the full system lifecycle, including configuration, testing, release and  review, ensuring strong governance, data integrity and security.

Main duties of the job

Barts Health NHS Trust manages one of the largest operational estates in the NHS, supporting some of the busiest and most complex hospitals in the country. Through a strong group model, we are committed to delivering safe, efficient, and digitally enabled environments that underpin outstanding patient care.

Soft FM services rely on a wide range of interconnected systems, including Synbiotix (CAFM), Power BI, SharePoint, and PowerApps platforms. However, the current support model is fragmented, limiting innovation, integration, and responsiveness.
