Job description

Job responsibilities

Business intelligence and analytics is pivotal to the delivery of high-quality efficient health and care provision. As a dynamic and enthusiastic Business Intelligence Partner, the post holder will be part of a team providing analysis and insights to support effective, data driven operational and strategic decision making, to ensure the best use of resources, highlight or escalate performance and understand areas of greatest opportunity.

Capable of demonstrating a methodical and structured approach to capturing data requirements, the post holder will analyse, interpret, and advise on complex data or information, with the ability to communicate with stakeholders at all levels both within, and external to, the organisation.

The role will offer opportunities to set the standards and lead on the use of high quality, timely and accurate data and information throughout the organisation, Integrated Care system (ICS) and wider; in order to bring business intelligence and data analytics to the forefront of shaping high quality, safe, patient focused care and population health, to foster an intelligence led culture.

The Business Intelligence Partner will work pro-actively to ensure the organisation is aware of the impact on information through business developments and process changes, whilst conversely ensuring that operational leaders are fully informed of changes and developments in information systems, policies, and software.

In addition to proven experience and a progressive outlook, the post holder will provide leadership, demonstrate an ability to motivate others to achieve positive outcomes, meet tight deadlines and objectives and aspire to deliver innovative technological solutions for the NHS in a digital age.
