? About the Role

As the Technical Operations Lead, you’ll oversee 3rd–4th line support, lead on problem management, optimise Zendesk (moving to ServiceNow), and manage a team of 8 support engineers. You’ll also play a key role in improving onboarding/offboarding processes and acting as an escalation point for complex technical issues.

This role is perfect for someone who combines technical depth with strategic oversight — and who thrives in a service-led culture focused on secure, high-performing digital operations.

? Key Responsibilities

  • Own 3rd–4th line incident and problem management

  • Drive improvements across software lifecycle and user experience
  • Ensure strong cross-functional collaboration
  • Implement ITIL-aligned performance tracking and documentation

? What We’re Looking For

  • Proven leadership in an IT support environment
  • Excellent communicator and people leader
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills
  • MCP preferred (but not essential)

? Why Join?

You’ll be part of a non-frontline NHS organisation, supporting national health objectives through critical digital infrastructure, with a unique mix of public mission and private-sector agility.

?️ Help shape and safeguard the future of digital service delivery.
