Advert Details

We are seeking to recruit an Informatics Analyst, who will deliver impactful analytical products as part of an analytical service to the Trust’s clinicians and operational staff. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to help build the Trusts’ data science capabilities and drive the way the Trust uses analytics to improve operational performance and patient care. You will be part of the Business Informatics Team who focus on providing analysis to help the Trust become an insight-driven organisation and to enable it to self-serve its data needs. We are looking for an analyst with strong technical skills in managing data and working with data warehouse environments, developing business intelligence products (including interactive visual reports), data modelling, and producing analysis using statistical software (e.g. R and Python).
