Overview

The Digital Image Processing System (DIPS) is a standalone application currently used across approximately 750 stores in the UK and ROI. This project aims to identify and implement a suitable replacement solution that will integrate with a wider Blended Experience Programme, which includes the rollout of a new global Patient Management System.

Stores use DIPS to scan, store, and retrieve both clinical and operational documents. While originally intended only for clinical materials-such as visual field results-the system is widely used for a broader range of documents. Each store typically operates a dedicated DIPS PC and scanner within the back-office environment.

The selected replacement solution will form part of future global architecture but will be implemented in the UK and ROI first.

A major component of the project will involve migrating existing documents from the current DIPS product to the new platform. As part of this migration, documents will require triage to determine whether they are clinical-moving to a clinical storage solution linked to customer records-or non-clinical, which will be directed into an alternative storage solution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of a new document management and scanning solution to replace the current DIPS application.
• Define requirements, evaluate market options, and participate in RFP processes to ensure the selected solution aligns with business and programme objectives.
• Oversee system integration and large-scale data migration activities, including document triage and routing to appropriate storage platforms.
• Collaborate closely with global and regional stakeholders to ensure alignment, clarity, and adoption of the new solution.
• Communicate project progress clearly and effectively to drive engagement and decision-making.
• Manage risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies across a complex multi-workstream programme environment.

Skills & Experience

• Experience delivering Document Management System and/or scanning solution implementations (preferred but not essential).
• Strong background in RFP processes, solution evaluation, and vendor engagement.
• Proven track record in system integrations and large-scale data or document migrations.
• Ability to build strong relationships with global stakeholders and external partners.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly.
• Skilled in identifying, escalating, and managing risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies within large programmes.

IT Manager -

Southampton (hybrid (50:50) -

£75,000 p.a + company car or allowance

Role Focus - IT Foundation, Enablement and Change

This role is focused on getting the IT foundations aligned, stabilised, and ready to support a sustained programme of innovation and change across the organisation. It is less about setting strategy and more about making change possible, by ensuring the core technology estate, operating model, and team capability are fit for purpose.

The role acts as an enabler for transformation, working closely with the Head of Innovation to shape how innovation can be delivered in practice. This role plays a critical part in turning strategic intent into something the business can actually execute and absorb.

Responding to the day to day operational needs of a business is an integral part of how the team works, building close, supportive relationships with frontline teams on plants and sites, and approaching challenges collaboratively. The focus is on working together to keep systems safe, secure, and compliant, while making practical, well considered changes that support operational delivery. This naturally includes using safe, controlled IT environments to explore ideas and proof of concepts together, allowing learning, confidence, and trust to develop before changes are introduced into production. The role requires hands on experience across a predominantly Microsoft technology stack, spanning both legacy and modern platforms, within a currently hybrid environment.

Success in this role depends heavily on relationship building across the organisation. The individual must be proactive, visible, and trusted by stakeholders, with a clear interest in understanding how different parts of the business operate and where technology can genuinely remove friction or enable improvement.

From a leadership perspective, the role carries responsibility for supporting and developing the IT team. This includes addressing performance issues, navigating strong personalities, and being prepared to make difficult but necessary leadership decisions in the interests of the wider organisation.

Overall, this is a delivery focused, people centred role that creates the conditions for innovation, by strengthening the foundations, supporting the team, and enabling change to happen at pace and with confidence.
