TIS Data Analyst

The Trainee Information System (TIS) Data Analyst role presents an exciting opportunity to be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile development team. The team develops and supports digital products and services aimed at supporting and improving Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education (PMDE) including the working lives of doctors and dentists in training as well as its supporting roles and systems. The TIS team is currently split into two product teams. This role will work closely with the administrator focussed product team, developing products and services for those who administer workforce, training and education programmes as well as its wider stakeholders.

As a key member team, you will work closely with the other members of the team from different disciplines, ranging from full-stack developers to business analysts and user researchers. You will also work closely with wider business areas and a network of data leads developing specialist expertise and knowledge of PMDE related data in the process. The multi-disciplinary nature of the team along with its remit will provide the successful applicant the unique opportunity to fully explore the problem space to create well-rounded solutions and help to bring them into fruition.

TIS is a national team and although we have two hubs in London and Manchester, you can base yourself from any NHS England office across the country subject to approval.

Candidates selected for interview will need to pass a technical test on SQL.

Specifically, you will:

Work as part of a multi-disciplinary product team in an agile environment to continually improve, develop and iterate TIS services.

Our work supports the NHS to deliver high quality services for patients and best value for taxpayers.

Our staff bring expertise across hundreds of specialisms — including clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

We lead the NHS in England by:

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

Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential

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

Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, leading to full integration. The aim is to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and eliminates waste.

If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the recruitment process.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in-person.

You will be highly numerate and an experienced analyst familiar with using a variety of analytical, statistical, and reporting tools and techniques. You will be an excellent communicator, and confident in working with users, and be committed to quality and continuous improvement.

Along with your colleagues you will work to make a success of our approach to developing products, data collections and using the National Data Warehouse to meet the needs of all our users.

Please note that the reason for the fixed term of this contract is due to a short-term vacancy.
