Business Intelligence Unit

Senior Information Analyst Clinical Management Information

National Headquarters, Edinburgh

Permanent (fixed term or secondment considered)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of the Business Intelligence team based in National Headquarters.

The BI team is responsible for all routine and ad hoc performance reporting. This includes production of daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly reports covering all aspects of performance such as operational, clinical, PTS and sickness absence. These routine reports are produced for SAS Executive, Board, Senior Managers and the Scottish Government. Provision of this analysis applies to the whole system, from 999 calls to outcomes linked with other areas of healthcare.

We are looking for a Senior Information Analyst to join our Management Information team. This post will be responsible for providing high quality data analysis and intelligence to a range of areas to improve service delivery. With a focus on clinical data, we are looking for a candidate with previous clinical experience who can provide essential insights in how data is recorded and stored to enable the production of high quality insights. If you have the right mix of clinical insights and data analysis experience, we want to hear from you.

By liaising closely with a wide range of stakeholders such as Executive Team Members, Regional Directors, Ambulance Control Centre staff, and the Scottish Government, this post will help ensure the regular provision of essential data to inform decision making throughout the service. Building on our existing processes, were looking for someone to help modernise the supply of management information through new analytical and visualisation tools.

This is a varied role and the postholder will need to be flexible and able to cope with periods of pressure and competing demands. Effective communication with analytical and non-analytical colleagues, along with effective project scoping skills and a willingness to support and collaborate with others are key. Consistent attention to detail and good organisational skills are essential.

The postholder will need to be highly numerate and have experience of analytical techniques and working with complex datasets. Full training in the source database systems will be given, and once trained this post will be expected to independently interrogate data for quality and completeness, complete analysis using the appropriate tools, and visualise the results in an appropriate way for the intended audience. Experience or knowledge of using the following software would be desirable:

  • Business Objects
  • SQL
  • R/R Studio
  • Data Visualisation tools such as Power BI

Although this post is based within NHQ, the location is flexible and will be discussed and agreed with the successful candidate. This could include home working, office working, or a hybrid of the two.
