Turning Point is a leading health and social care social enterprise, supporting people with mental health, learning disabilities, substance use, sexual health, and employment needs. We’re committed to delivering inclusive, impactful, and user-centred solutions that drive real outcomes for the people and communities we support.


Turning Point leverages cutting-edge cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Services to enhance their digital presence and improve service delivery.


We are now recruiting for Senior Enterprise Infrastructure Architect who will play a vital role in guiding the strategic and operational direction of our IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.


The role offers flexibility with remote working, alongside occasional travel to London or Manchester for in-person collaboration and key meetings.




Main Responsibilities:



  • Designing and managing a converged IT infrastructure that integrates compute, networking, storage, and security components, aligning it with the organisation's IT strategy and the evolving cybersecurity landscape. This includes the integration of cloud services from Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Services.
  • Collaborating with other IMT staff, stakholders and cloud service providers to ensure the seamless integration of infrastructure projects, thereby enhancing operational resilience and cybersecurity defenses.
  • Overseeing the Enterprise Architecture strategy, managing its performance, cost-efficiency, and security, and handling relationships with external vendors to ensure the delivery of high-quality services. This includes managing cloud-based Enterprise Architecture strategies.
  • Providing insightful recommendations and leading the implementation of approved infrastructure initiatives while staying abreast of emerging technologies, cybersecurity threats, and industry developments. This includes leveraging cloud technologies.

We are looking for candidates who are able to lead, inspire and mentor high-performing teams whilst driving staff engagement.

Why Join Us?


As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.
