studies. Projects are generally in partnership with academic or NHS institutes
and can be in collaboration with industry. This will involve administration of
database instances, supporting the design of new databases, database management
tasks, cataloguing of data, developing, monitoring maintaining data pipelines
as well as assisting in developing options for system improvements.
We
encourage applications from those with a strong background in data management
regardless of industry.
This post is based in
our Cambridge office. We offer flexible working arrangements. Our staff
combine on-site and remote working, enabling us to come together when it
matters most and promote a healthy work-life balance. There
will be an occasional requirement to travel within the Eastern region and attend
events or meeting further afield.
About us
Our
purpose at Eastern AHSN is to turn great ideas into positive health impact.
We
were established by the NHS to convene all partners in the health sector, to
develop and deliver innovative solutions in health and care. Our focus is the
East of England, but we are also part of a national network which enables us to
deliver at scale.
Citizens,
academia, health services and industry will achieve more working together than
they will in isolation. Our job is to make this happen. We do this by helping
innovators to navigate complex systems, generate value propositions and connect
stakeholders to overcome challenges together.
