Our Poppy's Promise Commitment We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team -- clinical or non-clinical -- plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times. We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care. Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding. By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values -- ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.

As a Digital System Support Officer, you will provide high-quality customer support to end users of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) applications, helping staff resolve queries, access guidance and use digital systems effectively. The role requires excellent communication skills, a strong customer-focused approach, patience, professionalism and the ability to explain technical information clearly to users with varying levels of digital confidence. Experience of using or supporting clinical or EPR systems would be advantageous, but is not essential as full training will be provided. We are looking for someone who is approachable, proactive and committed to delivering a positive support experience for colleagues across the organisation.
