Main duties of the job

The post holder will have sound knowledge of NHS data and business processes, and good technical skills in data management, business intelligence and analytics, including data modelling, data visualisation with a focus on building self-service analytics solutions which will allow business users to analyse data themselves.

The focus will be on acting as a lead data and information specialist, providing reports, insight and recommendations through complex analysis of multiple data sets, including both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as providing support for the project management team, individual ’network’ members and the wider system. The role supports the development of a new model of care, including contributing to creating databases, performance dashboard, benchmarking exercise and local clinical audits.

The post-holder will ensure that the network has all of the information it requires for the creation of robust business cases, base lining, benefits realisation, forecasting, planning and monitoring of end-to-end pathways of psychological care. Evaluation will need to include analysis of data to support an economic case for the sustainability of the new care pathways, for example, by demonstrating cost savings through changes to healthcare utilisation, or quicker return to work. This evidence gathering and evaluation will be key to enable discussion with local and national commissioners around the benefits of long term and wider implementation
