Opportunity for a proven Information Analyst with a strong understanding of healthcare policy to make a major contribution in developing solutions for NHS Trusts and providers, enabling them to provide patients with financially stable, consistently safe and high quality care.

NHS Improvement is the operational name for the organisation that brings together Monitor, NHS Trust Development Authority, Patient Safety, the National Reporting and Learning System, the Advancing Change team and the Intensive Support Teams. We hold providers to account and, where necessary, intervene to help the NHS to meet its short-term challenges and secure its future.

Matrix-managing a team of Information Analysts, the Senior Information Analyst will deliver a high quality data analytics service to NHS Improvement’s business teams with a focus on building self-service analytics solutions, which will allow business users to analyse data themselves.

Working with the Principal Analyst(s), the Senior Information Analyst will take part in research on emerging analytics tools and technologies and contribute to putting forward options and recommendations on how NHS Improvement can take advantage of relevant tools and technologies to become a high-performing insight-driven organisation. The post holder will also deliver insightful analysis on topical issues as required and produce accurate and timely ad hoc, weekly and monthly management information.

The successful candidate will thrive working with minimal supervision, be comfortable in analysing complex data, practical minded and highly methodical in their approach.
