Working to the Service Delivery Lead supervised by Copeland Informational Analyst and Digital Support Officer to provide digital and IT Administrative support for the merged 5 NCPC practices in Workington.

Your role will be to report any issues to the e-health helpdesk and ensure they are actioned in a timely manner, and liaise with the local e-health team to ensure smooth running of all hardware and network systems.
