This is an opportunity to develop your expertise in system configuration, testing and support, while contributing to changes through the Families First Programme., Your work will range from investigating system issues to making changes to the forms and workflows that guide colleagues through their day-to-day tasks. Drawing on your technical understanding or knowledge of business processes, you'll build your understanding of social care and early help and use it to translate service requirements into practical system changes. You'll investigate issues affecting our Liquidlogic applications-LCS, EHM, EYES and ContrOCC-using calls logged through our service desk, Hornbill. Where supplier input is needed, you'll liaise with System C through Jira to help progress those issues towards resolution. Alongside this, you'll develop your knowledge of system configuration and testing, supporting the introduction of upgrades and fixes provided by System C. Your attention to detail will help us check that changes work as intended.
