Technical Lead (Principal Analyst)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting for content. Let's extract relevant sections. Posting includes: - Intro about transformation, flexible location, work pattern, fixed term until 31 March 2028, etc. That could be "About the role" or "Who We Are". The instruction: use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: description of role, opportunity, what they do, etc. - Responsibilities: maybe from "Technical Lead within a development team will have the opportunity to define and drive technical excellence across multidisciplinary agile development teams. Your work will directly influence the development of impactful technology services..." That's responsibilities. - Requirements: eligibility to work in UK, etc. - Qualifications: maybe experience list? Actually "What We Love To See" lists desired experience/skills. That could be Skills or Requirements. - Skills: list of technical skills: experience with software engineering, cloud platform AWS, CI/CD, React, Node.js, C#, agile, communication, etc. - Benefits: "Benefits Which Matter" list. - Pay: not mentioned explicitly. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Work pattern: Fixed Term, 36 hours per week, quarterly meetups in Glasgow or Edinburgh, flexible location, remote-friendly, hybrid, etc. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We must not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to format using

for each section heading, then content: either

for prose,

• for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include metadata like Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. However some instructions like "Please contact tadhg.davey@nhs.scot" maybe considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove lines about contacting for adjustments, etc. Also "Next Steps" etc. Probably remove. But we need to preserve substantive info: role description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, schedule. We need to be careful not to remove needed info like eligibility to work in UK (requirement). That's not boilerplate. We need to keep "Flexible Location: PSD Scotland is a remote-friendly employer..." etc. We need to keep "Work Pattern: Fixed Term, Time, 36 hours hours per week Fixed-term or Secondment** until 31st March 2028". There's a typo "hours hours". We'll keep as is. We need to keep "For NHS applicants, an NHS secondment will be offered in the first instance. For non-NHS applicants, a fixed-term or secondment would be considered." We need to keep "You must have eligibility and entitlement to work in the UK which is required to be maintained throughout your period of employment." We need to keep "Who We Are" paragraph. We need to keep "The Opportunity" paragraph about National Digital Platform. We need to keep "What We Love To See" bullet list. We need to keep "Benefits Which Matter" bullet list. We need to keep schedule info: flexible location, remote-friendly, hybrid, quarterly meetups in Glasgow or Edinburgh, work pattern fixed term 36 hours per week until 31 March 2028, secondment possibilities. We need to avoid duplicative lines. Now craft HTML. We'll have sections:

  About the role

  with paragraphs covering intro, who we are, opportunity. Maybe combine.

  Responsibilities

  with paragraph about leading teams, defining technical excellence, influencing development.

  Requirements

  with paragraph about eligibility to work in UK, maybe also mention secondment eligibility? Could be.

  Qualifications

  maybe not needed if we treat "What We Love To See" as Skills. But we could have Qualifications for education? Not present. Might skip Qualifications if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So if no qualifications, skip.

  Skills

  with list from "What We Love To See".

  Benefits

  with list from "Benefits Which Matter".

  Schedule

  with paragraph about flexible location, remote-friendly, hybrid, quarterly meetups, work pattern 36 hours per week, fixed term until 31 March 2028, secondment possibilities. We must not include Pay. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract exact sentences. Intro: "On 1 April 2026, NSS and NES became one national organisation, focused on continuity today and a stronger, more connected service for tomorrow. As part of this transformation, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) have joined to form a new organisation: Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland). This new organisation will play a pivotal role in supporting the renewal and ensuring the long-term sustainability of health and care services across Scotland." Flexible Location: "Flexible Location: PSD Scotland is a remote-friendly employer with staff based throughout Scotland. We support office-based and hybrid working arrangements. We welcome conversations about alternative working patterns—please get in touch during the application process to discuss. This post requires quarterly meetups in either Glasgow or Edinburgh offices" Work Pattern: "Work Pattern: Fixed Term, Time, 36 hours hours per week Fixed-term or Secondment** until 31st March 2028 For NHS applicants, an NHS secondment will be offered in the first instance. For non-NHS applicants, a fixed-term or secondment would be considered. You must have eligibility and entitlement to work in the UK which is required to be maintained throughout your period of employment." Who We Are: "PSD Scotland unites expertise from NES and NSS in a way that will allow us to accelerate national programmes to support the NHS to deliver better care, now and in the future. We support staff with education and training, provide the tools and data that improve services, and run vital national functions such as procurement, logistics and blood, tissue and cell services." The Opportunity: "The National Digital Platform is building an open-standards-based technology platform. Which supports the delivery of major programmes such as mycare.scot, and Scotland's Digital Dispensing and Prescribing. We are looking for a Technical Lead within our Development workstream to join our highly talented and growing organisation. You will play a key role leading teams in the delivery of cutting-edge technology solutions that will help address some of the most complex challenges in the education, training and workforce domain. Do you enjoy playing a leadership role in multi-disciplinary teams to bring technology products from inception to production and sustained operation?

A Technical Lead within a development Ateam will have the opportunity to define and drive technical excellence across multidisciplinary agile development teams. Your work will directly influence the development of impactful technology services for health and care professionals and the general public. Does this sound like you?" What We Love To See: bullet list: - Experience in a breadth of software engineering practices. With specialist depth in a core area such as front-end, back-end, or platform engineering. - Strong knowledge of a cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. We use AWS. - Experience building CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub, GitLab, or Jenkins. We use GitHub. - Experience with software development in one or more modern programming languages and frameworks. We use React, Node.js, and C#. - Experience working in agile delivery environments, supporting iterative delivery, prioritisation, and continuous improvement. - A clear understanding of what it takes to get complex technology solutions from inception to production - Highly effective communicator knowing how to make complex technical information and language simple for diverse senior internal and external stakeholders (both verbally and in writing). - Demonstrate honesty, integrity, care and compassion when dealing with others, utilising tact and persuasion skills when necessary - Ability to work on own initiative, to organise and prioritise own workloads, to meet strict deadlines Benefits Which Matter: bullet list: - Life-work balance - with opportunities for flexible working and hybrid working - Generous NHS pension scheme - Annual incremental salary progression (up to the maximum of the salary band) plus annual NHS salary scale review - Annual Leave - 27 Days increasing in line with service plus 8 days public holiday - NHS discounts and more - Diversity and Inclusion Developing a successful national service for Scotland means considering the diverse needs, perspectives, and backgrounds of everyone in Scotland. We are focused on hiring the very best talent and actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds. Our aim to ensure that everyone is treated fairly, with respect, and has a positive recruitment experience—regardless of the outcome. We welcome applications from all under-represented groups, including racially minoritised people and disabled people. It is not essential to be in Technical Lead role right now—you may be returning from a career break (e.g., maternity, paternity, caring) or coming from another field. Your experiences can bring a fresh perspective to our work. If you are considering applying and would like to discuss the opportunity, any adjustments or alternative work patterns, please contact tadhg.davey@nhs.scot But note: the last sentence about contacting is application instruction; we should remove it. Also the earlier "If you are considering applying..." is also instruction. So we should strip that. Thus Benefits section should include the bullet points up to "NHS discounts and more" and the Diversity and Inclusion paragraph (excluding the contact sentence). The Diversity and Inclusion paragraph is substantive. We need to keep the Diversity and Inclusion paragraph but remove the contact sentence. Thus Benefits: list items plus a paragraph about Diversity and Inclusion. Now Schedule: we need to capture flexible location, remote-friendly, hybrid, quarterly meetups, work pattern 36 hours per week, fixed term until 31 March 2028, secondment possibilities. We should not include the "please get in touch during the application process to discuss" (application instruction). So remove that sentence. Thus Schedule paragraph: "PSD Scotland is a remote-friendly employer with staff based throughout Scotland. We support office-based and hybrid working arrangements. This post requires quarterly meetups in either Glasgow or Edinburgh offices. Work Pattern: Fixed Term, 36 hours per week, Fixed-term or Secondment until 31 March 2028. For NHS applicants, an NHS secondment will be offered in the first instance. For non-NHS applicants, a fixed-term or secondment would be considered. You must have eligibility and entitlement to work in the UK which is required to be maintained throughout your period of employment." We need to fix the duplicate "hours hours". We'll just write "36 hours per week". Now Requirements: eligibility to work in UK maybe also mention that it's required. Could also include that you must have eligibility and entitlement to work in the UK. That's it. But also maybe the "For NHS applicants..." is more about work pattern, not requirement. We'll keep in Schedule. Thus Requirements: paragraph about eligibility. Now Responsibilities: we have paragraphs from "You will play
