Caché Operational Linux Systems Administrator
NHS AfC: Band 8a
Job overview
The Caché Operational Linux Systems Administrator will report to the Operational Manager and be responsible for the implementation and administration of the strategic Operational Database (ODB) environments (Caché). The ODB is a critical core component of the Epic system and so maintaining high levels of availability and performance is key to the success of the solution. Any delays in the delivery of the warranted environment for Epic would adversely affect the Programme Delivery so delivering to tight timescales will be required.
The post holder will be responsible for the creation, configuration, and on-going management of the ODB environments that serve production, reporting, DR, training and non-production requirements. Proactive monitoring and the implementation of defined and documented processes and procedures will be required to ensure 99.9% availability.
The post holder will be required to be proactive in terms of responding to issues, engaging in capacity planning exercises, collaborating across the technical teams as well as with Epic, automating processes where possible and participating in DR and business continuity tests.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be part of a dedicated team responsible for the implementation and management of all the underlying infrastructure and platforms. This consists of the application delivery platform, web servers, printing infrastructure, virtualisation, storage, and database management.
In order to ensure appropriate support and management for environments and subsystems, it is critical to establish close communications with the full infrastructure and BAU teams.
