Business Continuity Analyst
Contract | On-site - Dublin Central | Major National Healthcare Programme
We are supporting a large, complex public-sector organisation delivering one of Ireland's most significant digital and infrastructure programmes: the opening of a large new healthcare facility, underpinned by a major Electronic Health Records (EHR) implementation.
As part of this programme, we are seeking
Business Continuity Analysts
to support go-live readiness and ensure continuity of care and operations during system outages or major incidents.
This is a
hands-on, delivery-focused role
, suited to candidates with strong business continuity experience from healthcare, technology, regulated, or other mission-critical environments.
The opportunity
* Initial
6-month contract
(with potential extension)
* Full-time, on-site
role at a major new national facility
* Opportunity to work on a once-in-a-generation programme with real-world impact
* Multiple positions available, including
one more senior/supervisory profile
and
two junior/analyst-level hires.
What you'll be doing
* Developing and documenting
Business Continuity Access (BCA) plans
for clinical and non-clinical systems
* Designing
emergency access workflows
, fallback procedures and escalation paths
* Supporting go-live readiness for a large-scale EHR and hospital systems programme
* Coordinating and executing
scenario testing
during technical dress rehearsals
* Validating access and continuity mechanisms during simulated outages
* Working closely with clinical, operational, security and technical stakeholders
* Ensuring plans align with
security and regulatory requirements
(e.g. GDPR, NIS2)
* Producing clear documentation and reporting on risks, gaps and outcomes
What we're looking for
* Proven experience in
business continuity planning
within a complex or critical environment (healthcare, tech, utilities, financial services, large enterprise, etc.)
* Strong understanding of
access management, emergency access or continuity controls
* Experience working to tight timelines in high-risk, high-visibility programmes
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and documentation skills
* A practical, calm, problem-solving mindset
Nice to have (but not essential)
* Experience with
EHR platforms
such as Epic or similar large enterprise systems
* Background in IT, cybersecurity, identity & access management, or service resilience
* Business Continuity or IT Service Management certifications (e.g. CBCP, ITIL)
Why this role
This is not a theoretical business continuity exercise. You will be directly involved in ensuring patient safety, operational resilience, and readiness for a nationally critical healthcare go-live.
If you have delivered business continuity in environments where failure is not an option, this will be a highly rewarding assignment.
