Overview
We are seeking multiple Implementation Specialists to support the onboarding and integration of third-party suppliers to NHS-facing FHIR and HL7-based APIs. This role is focused on enabling suppliers to successfully progress through complex technical, clinical, and assurance processes in a large-scale NHS environment.
The role is highly operational and coordination-heavy, acting as the bridge between suppliers, development teams, clinicians, and assurance functions. A strong working knowledge of FHIR resources, HL7 standards, and API onboarding is essential.
There is an active backlog of suppliers awaiting onboarding, and this role plays a key part in unblocking delivery and accelerating integration progress.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the primary point of contact for suppliers integrating with FHIR and HL7-based APIs.
- Guide suppliers through end-to-end onboarding and assurance processes.
- Interpret and explain FHIR resources, HL7 messaging standards, and API specifications to suppliers.
Work closely with internal SMEs, including:
- Technical and architecture teams
- Clinical SMEs
- Assurance and governance teams
- Live service and operational teams
- Identify, track, and resolve supplier technical queries and onboarding issues.
- Create and manage clear, structured Jira tickets to track progress and blockers.
- Maintain onboarding metrics and supplier status reporting via Jira and Confluence.
- Assess supplier technical readiness and capability against NHS integration standards.
- Proactively support suppliers to help them meet required standards and timelines.
- Provide regular progress updates to delivery managers and senior stakeholders.
Required Experience
Essential:
- Proven NHS experience (Trust, national programme, or NHS supplier).
- Strong hands-on experience with FHIR-based APIs.
- Practical experience working with HL7 standards.
- Experience onboarding third-party suppliers to complex API platforms.
- Ability to confidently read and interpret technical specifications and standards documentation.
- Experience using Jira for delivery tracking and issue management.
Desirable:
- Experience working on national-scale NHS systems or platforms.
- Background in prescribing, dispensing, or patient-facing digital health systems.
- Experience collaborating with clinical and assurance teams.
Role Characteristics
- This is not a traditional Business Analyst role.
- Strong emphasis on implementation, integration, and supplier enablement.
- KPI-driven, with success measured by supplier onboarding throughput and progress.
- Requires strong stakeholder management and the ability to work across technical and clinical domains.
- Comfortable operating in a complex, high-pressure NHS delivery environment.
