The National Patient Safety Agency is a special health authority that oversees many aspects of patient safety from the design of hospitals to the performance of individual staff. We aim to promote an open and fair culture in the NHS, encouraging all healthcare staff to report things that have gone wrong without undue fear of personal reprimand. Where adverse events occur or problems arise, we initiate preventative methods so that patient safety is continually improved.
Human Factors Specialist (Usability & HCI) - Maple Street, London W1
£39,872 - £46,746 p.a. inc.
Overseeing the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Usability aspects of human factors across our organisation, you will act as our expert in this field, representing us at meetings and conferences and influencing outside organisations. You will also advise management, development and implementation teams on relevant issues, and will assist in defining a long-term strategy for human factors. Throughout your work, you will ensure that patients and the general public are involved in everything we do as an agency, and that we continue to meet the very highest standards of care.
Qualified to graduate level or equivalent, you must have spent at least five years in a comparable role within a healthcare or industrial setting. You will also have direct experience of User Needs Analysis, Design, and Usability Evaluation. It's essential that you can demonstrate first-rate facilitation skills, and that you have experience of using them to resolve difficult and sensitive situations. This is a great opportunity for a skilled project manager with the proven ability to meet set timescales and budgets, and who can work equally well independently and within a wider team.
This role is offered on a one-year basis, covering a secondment.
