Darby Warburton
@darbywarburton
Public-service focused IT trainer and administrator skilled in training, data management, and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I am a public-service-focused IT trainer and administrator with extensive experience in customer-facing, administrative, and high-pressure clinical environments. I prioritise service excellence and confidentiality while supporting team growth and operational efficiency.
In NHS roles I designed and delivered training programmes, maintained online learning systems, and enforced information governance, improving staff adoption of new learning platforms. I led rota management for junior doctors and consultants, handled complex leave tracking, and reported staffing statistics during high-pressure strike periods.
I have delivered project work in Child Health, creating a streamlined data management system for a 'Lost to Follow Up' project that improved case completion speed and accuracy. I also contributed on the A&E frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing administrative systems that improved efficiency and patient safety.
Outside the NHS I run a self-employed nail-art business managing finance, scheduling, and social media marketing, and I hold IBM SkillsBuild certificates in AI fundamentals and Professional Workplace Skills to expand my digital capabilities.
