Department IT & Data · Reporting to Data Analyst
Do you enjoy working with spreadsheets and figuring out why two sets of numbers don’t quite match?
We’re looking for a Junior Data Analyst to join our IT & Data team. Working alongside an experienced Data Analyst, you’ll help colleagues understand how our services are performing and support the monthly reports we submit to NHS commissioners.
You’ll learn by working on real reporting tasks, from checking the figures behind a dashboard to writing a SQL query that answers a colleague’s question. You’ll have guidance from your manager as you build confidence with the tools and get to know the data.
What you’ll do
- Help build and update Power BI dashboards, operational reports and departmental performance measures.
- Bring together data from different business systems and learn to write and run SQL queries to investigate it.
- Check for missing, duplicate or inconsistent records, investigate unexpected figures and help resolve issues before reporting deadlines.
- Support the preparation, checking and submission of monthly NHS commissioning reports, including SUS (Secondary Uses Service) and SLAM (Service Level Agreement Monitoring).
- Respond to routine reporting requests, working with colleagues to understand what they need and present the answer clearly.
- Keep reporting datasets, templates and instructions up to date, and handle information in line with our data protection and information governance requirements.
What you’ll bring
Some familiarity with Excel, datasets, databases or reporting tools would give you a useful starting point. You might have gained that through work, study or a personal project. We’re especially interested in your curiosity, attention to detail and willingness to learn. You’ll enjoy asking questions, working through a problem with colleagues and taking care to get the figures right.
What you’ll learn
With support from your manager, you’ll build visualisations and write calculations using DAX in Power BI. You’ll use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to explore databases and learn how tables relate to one another. Over time, you’ll also explore how Python can help you analyse data and automate repetitive tasks.
If you’d like to build a career in data analytics and use what you learn to support healthcare services, we’d welcome your application.
