Introduction

TheHill is a health and care digital transformation catalyst, part of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We work locally, nationally and internationally with the NHS, hospitals, educators, digital developers, innovators and investors to promote and encourage commercial and impactful technological solutions to problems in health and care.

Our mission is to get digital innovation into the NHS, and particularly into Oxford University Hospitals, for the benefit of staff and patients.

Our remit within OUH is threefold: to support staff with digital innovation ideas; to accelerate new solutions of both internal and external origin, facilitating the co-creation of relevant technologies; and to create and maintain external partnerships. This role will support digital innovations across TheHill, in particular contributing to our goal of developing a culture of innovation across OUH and enhancing the ability of clinical staff to engage with digital technologies. The digital skills programme will also contribute to the financial sustainability of TheHill through participation in the programmes by external participants.

Example activities run by the team include our Accelerator programme, innovation competitions, opportunities to engage with innovation (e.g. by coming to our showcase events or becoming an Ambassador), workshops to determine needs and share best practice, cross-ecosystem networking events, 1:1 mentoring and support and the development of a pipeline of digital innovation for the Trust.

We are a diverse, collaborative team who maintain an agile and resourceful approach to digital innovation. We are embedded within Oxford University Hospitals and work closely across the organisation, whilst maintaining a wide network of external partners and a ‘start-up’ culture within the team.

This role will manage our digital skills programme, which supports our overall goal to build capacity within the NHS to understand digital technology and adopt new innovations. We are seeking someone who has the confidence and experience to manage the set-up and delivery of the programme, including managing a budget, securing accreditation, liaising with specialist speakers, working with the communications manager to promote the programme and managing participants. It is not necessary for the role to be able to teach on the programme or have specialist digital or health experience, although an ability to facilitate discussion / introduce speakers would be an advantage.
