Founding Implementation Lead (NHS)

About the role

About Heim Community nursing is one of the most complex operational environments in healthcare, and one of the least well equipped for it. A caseload scattered across an entire geography. Patients in high-rises, care homes, rural cottages, living rooms. Nurses driving between them with a bag, a list that is sometimes still on paper, and no way to signal when the day has stopped being deliverable. Above them, operational leaders trying to understand what is happening in the field from a spreadsheet that was out of date before it was opened. That is what we are changing at Heim. We believe care belongs in the home, and that the shift away from hospital-based care has already started. Our mission is to expand access to in-person clinical care at home by giving the community workforce technology that makes their days simpler, more manageable and more rewarding. We have built an AI-native ecosystem that handles the scheduling and logistics of community care, and we are working through every non-clinical touchpoint until the admin is gone. To date, our technology has powered a network of 400+ practitioners to deliver around 40,000 appointments, and our algorithms have been shown to give back up to a third of the working day for clinical care. We are growing fast across the NHS and social care, where services are being asked to hit productivity targets using the tools they already have. We give community teams workforce intelligence through Heim Insights, alongside the most capable suite of AI-native productivity tools built specifically for care outside hospital. The role As our founding Implementation Lead, you will build Heim's Delivery function while running the deployments that function exists to support. You will own large-scale deployments of Heim software inside the NHS and social care. These are the deployments the product learns from and long-term partnerships are built on. In your first two, your work will shape the working day of more than 800 nurses delivering close to a million patient contacts a year. Delivering a fixed scope on time is the floor. The job is to earn real engagement from clinical and operational teams, turn that engagement into adoption that holds after you leave the room, and route everything you learn back into the product. A partner said to us recently, "we can't wait for everyone to be ready, they might never be." Readiness follows change rather than preceding it. People get comfortable with something new by trying it, watching it work, and finding that the thing they were worried about was manageable. Getting teams to that point is the craft of this role. You will lead deployments end to end, from mobilisation and structured discovery through to go-live of dashboards, the Companion App and AI-assisted productivity features, while standing up the playbooks, processes and frameworks that make the next deployment, and the ten after it, considerably better. What you'll do Lead NHS deployments end to end Own the full implementation lifecycle for each NHS partner, from contract mobilisation and governance kick-off through structured discovery, go-live, and into embedded business-as-usual use. Run phased, multi-team rollouts to plan: coordinating activities, timelines, dependencies and resources across cohorts, keeping milestones on track and briefing the right people at the right moment. Own the DPIA support, data flow sign-off and information governance steps that gate NHS go-live, working alongside our Clinical Safety Officer and the Trust's governance leads. Spot the risks and blockers early, whether operational, clinical, technical or political, and have the mitigation ready before it reaches the timeline or the relationship. Earn engagement and adoption inside the Trust Be the face of Heim to the partner: the person who knows the service, knows the product, and is trusted by both the ward and the board. Build relationships at every level, from frontline staff and shift coordinators,
