The Suffolk and North East Essex (SNEE) Integrated Care System (ICS) has a diverse and talented analytical community, modern data and analytics technology, and engaged stakeholders. A key part of this analytical community is the new SNEE Intelligence Function. This is an analytical collaborative, with representatives from organisations across health and care organisations who work together to provide actionable insights from data that links information on health, care and the wider determinants of health. Suffolk County Council is hosting the 'hub' team of Intelligence Function analysts on behalf of the SNEE ICS and is working with ICS partners to use new data and insights to support the improvement of health outcomes and the reduction of health inequalities.

Your role and responsibilities

As a Senior Data Analyst in the SNEE ICS Intelligence Function, you will be at the forefront of evolving our ongoing data and analytics response. You will manage discrete analytical projects, working with analytical teams in system partners to deliver 'deep dives' into matters of strategic and / or operational interest around integrated care.

This will include analysis on the drivers of need and demand for a breadth of healthcare services, insights into the causes and magnitude of health inequalities, and opportunities to address future demand and capacity challenges. You will lead a specific programme of cancer analytics commissioned by the SNEE Integrated Care Board (ICB) to improve understanding of the factors that drive early diagnosis rates.

You will use your technical skills and expertise (which are likely to include advanced knowledge of statistics and data visualisation, using tools such as R, MS Power BI and SQL or similar) to evolve our existing intelligence products and develop new ones.
