You will be working in a team that is key to delivering this element of the strategy using highly developed skills in the use of data and analytics.

Our department covers all things ‘data’, including:

• capture of data – data structures within electronic, operational, clinical and administrative systems; how the human interactions with these systems support the capture of good quality data
• transfer of data between systems
• storage and data from multiple systems – building and maintaining data within our data warehouse to enable efficient access of ‘real‑time’ and ‘snapshot’ data
• data management – data quality, data integration and documentation
• analytics – visualisation and dashboards; supporting operational and mandatory reporting, machine learning

Successful candidates would be expected to work on site three days per week.

This vacancy may close prior to the closing date if a large volume of applications is received.

Our Analysts cover many roles. These could include, but are not limited to, the following:

• investigation, development and production of ad‑hoc analyses to support operational and clinical services within the organisation
• development, production and submission of nationally mandated data returns and data flows
• development, production and submission of data and reports required to support the organisation’s financial flows
• production of regular reports
• development of reports within our business intelligence environment
• investigation and resolution of data quality issues
• involvement in specific Trust projects

Candidates will be required to attend a face‑to‑face test. Candidates who pass the test will then be invited to interview.

We expect tests to take place week commencing 5th January 2026, and interviews to take place week commencing 19th January 2026.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state‑of‑the‑art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.

To provide a data and analysis service to senior managers and clinicians through analysis and interpretation of clinical data and to contribute to performance monitoring.
