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.
