Employer heading
Onboarding Officer (Health Records)
NHS AfC: Band 5
Job overview
The NHS in Cumbria is moving through a programme of significant transformational change involving the implementation of transformative clinical models of service and organisational integration. Key to delivering this change is our delivery of information technology required for services to be modern, safe, effective and well governed.
This is a post within the Health Records Department that requires an enthusiastic, experienced and highly motivated individual who responds positively to new challenges. The On-boarding Officer will independently manage one or more work packages as part of the Digitalisation Of Medical Records project.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be experienced in benefits management, continual service improvement and change management methods and tools and will provide advice to decision makers.
This is a post for an ambitious, intelligent and resilient individual to help us deliver high-quality benefits realisation and change management plans to help us transform healthcare through technology across West, North and East Cumbria.
You’ll support our Health Records and Digital Programmes team and the wider digital healthcare service by working with clinical specialities to realise benefits through changes to business processes enabled through technology. Strong links to other service improvement teams in the organisations are crucial.
Working for our organisation
At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding healthcare services to the population of North Cumbria. The Trust is committed to creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare and provides a wide range of community and acute services throughout our county.
Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of ‘safe, high quality care every time':
- Being a clinically led organisation

As an organisation we are serious about supporting a diverse workforce that reflects our local community and are very much focused on being an inclusive and compassionate place to work.
Across the North East and North Cumbria we are working together to deliver our ambition to be the greenest region in England by 2030. All staff are expected to support sustainability.

Disclosure and Barring Service:
On 28 November 2020, the new Disclosure and Barring Service filtering rules will come into effect.
The changes mean that:
- youth cautions, reprimands and final warnings will no longer be subject to automatic disclosure
- the multiple conviction rule has been removed, meaning that if an individual has more than one conviction, regardless of offence type or time passed, each conviction will be considered against the remaining rules individually, rather than being automatically disclosed.
If you are unsure about whether you need to disclose certain criminal record information, free confidential advice may be sought from one of the charity bodies listed below. These bodies can advise you on what you are legally required to declare and may also be able to advise you on how you can disclose criminal record information to a prospective employer and your legal rights when doing so.
