Job description

We are looking for an experienced and motivated analyst to play a pivotal role in the development of the Trust’s analytics provision. The successful candidate will be expected to work on their own initiative as well as part of a team providing expertise to define and establish reporting requirements to improve operational delivery and support commissioning and costing processes within the Trust. The role also includes the line management of the Commercial Analysts providing leadership, guidance and support where required.

The role requires gaining a detailed understanding of data and reporting requirements through extracting, processing and analysing the data recorded and presenting its findings to support Trust staff at all levels. You will be expected to offer guidance and interpretation to ensure analysis is both appropriate and useful to users, producing comparisons and trends, summarising findings and investigating any areas where data quality issues are identified.

The ideal candidate will have excellent technical skills in SQL, SSRS, and Excel, or strong experience of similar technologies and the ability to adapt quickly to using these. NHS experience would be a strong advantage, but significant analytical experience gained working within a large and complex organisation will be essential.

Please be advised that a trainee role will be considered if a successful band 7 candidate is not appointed. Candidates will need to demonstrate that they possess strong experience and meet the majority of the requirements but may require support/development to meet a particular technical aspect of the role. If appointed as a trainee you will be paid at 75% of Band 7 salary (Annex 21) until competencies are achieved. This would be expected to take 12 months.

• Please be advised that initial face-to-face assessments will take place on 7th May 2025. If successful at this assessment you will proceed to interview on 14th May 2025.
