Director (Data & Analytics)

NHS England

This job is now closed

Job summary

There is no shortage of data collected from across the NHS. At every level NHSE are responsible for and record different kinds of information.

Datasets have become so large and complex that traditional business intelligence solutions don't have the capability to handle them in a way that offers rapid insight for users. Cutting edge technology has proved invaluable in providing a single version of the truth, supporting decision-makers to make data-driven decisions that drive efficiencies and improve outcomes at a time of immense pressure.

Our vision is to accelerate the delivery of Data and Analytics infrastructure by scaling the value of data, providing real-time, relevant data and analysis to decision makers and operational teams across national, regional and local systems and thereby improving patient outcomes.

We are now seeking a highly experienced Director to join us in Data & Analytics to play a pivotal role in achieving our aspirations. The successful candidate will be part of a our Senior Leadership Team and will ensure effective operation of data processing, and the platforms and technology that underpin our data services, as well as transformation of these services.

Main duties of the job

With deep understanding of specialist technical programme delivery and management of third parties, you will oversee a strong team of data experts to maintain our operations and deliver transformation to our platforms.

Strategic delivery is key to this role and you will build positive stakeholder relationships to ensure effective operations of our data platforms, and that transformational change is delivered in line with strategic priorities and the vision.

About us

The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:

Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.

Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
Delivering value for money.
