Overview

NHS England’s Data and Analytics Directorate is supporting the NHS to become data enabled over the next 10 years. Our vision is to put patients in control of their data and care, support clinicians, decision‑makers and researchers with access to trusted, real‑time and high‑quality data.

Chief Solution Architect (AI)

This high‑impact role will lead and shape the future of AI within NHSE, overseeing the AI Factory – a critical function driving the development, deployment, and scaling of AI solutions that can truly impact our Patient and Staff experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and provide strategic direction for the NHS AI Factory: setting the vision, strategy, and roadmap for developing, deploying, and scaling AI solutions within the NHS.
  • Oversee the end‑to‑end lifecycle of AI solutions: from identifying opportunities and developing solutions to deploying, monitoring, and iterating on them.
  • Ensure alignment with regulations and ethical considerations: responsible for ensuring all AI solutions are developed and deployed in compliance with relevant regulations and ethical guidelines.

Organisational Purpose

  • Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
  • Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.
  • Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values, and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care.
  • Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation.
  • Delivering value for money.

Workplace Requirements

NHSE operates a hybrid working policy but we are open to applications for any office base location. There will be requirements for regular travel to Leeds and London offices, and colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in‑person. Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
