Job Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Information Manager within the Data Transformation Team in the Information Services department.

The successful applicant will help improve and maintain services for patients by ensuring that electronically stored data used to support decision-making (e.g., WPAS, and other key systems) is accurate, valid, reliable, complete, relevant, and complies with data standards.

This demanding role requires excellent analytical, numeracy, organizational, and effective communication skills. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, hardworking, and highly motivated.

Main duties of the job
