Job summary
The NHS Standards Directory website https://standards.nhs.uk enables the discovery of relevant standards for users, which makes it easier to find and understand standards used and required by the NHS and adult social care system.
Joining a small user centred design team with ambitions to grow, you will have the opportunity to innovate, learn and demonstrate your skills in an area that is modernising to join up data with the best of practice in the NHS and social care.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a candidate to continue to build the knowledge and information metadata model that will summarise standards, such as highlighting the benefits and impacts on the health and social care systems. Using the best of practice and standards around metadata, designing the knowledge model will come with the responsibility of quality monitoring and overseeing the population of data from numerous stakeholders. This will include governance, research, training and the use of imports. Design and development of a taxonomy leading to an ontology will help to ensure we can provide views and answers for our users, in the language they are used to.
