Have a customer focused attitude in order to provide support and resolution of issues.

Proven experience in system development and integration;

Agile development of new functionality within agreed timescales;

Dedicated testing resources and rigorous quality assurance processes;

Business development expertise.

The OCS will ideally interface with the following systems:

Interested organisations are invited to express their interest in this potential opportunity by contacting Yasmine Warsame, Project Manager, via email at: yasmine.warsame@christie.nhs.uk before 15th January 2016.

Individual informal discussions will be held with interested parties who express an interest during early 2016.
