An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Senior Data Engineer to join the Business Intelligence team at an exciting time in the department.
We are currently going through a period of evolution where we are re-shaping how information services are delivered within the organisation by improving accessibility of data across the organisation and supporting the expansion of the Trust’s research agenda. The successful candidate will be playing a key role in the review, development & improvement of data management as we strive to deliver a best-in-class BI service.
This role would suit someone with strong attention to detail, keen eye for data modelling, who can meticulously follow specifications and spot even the smallest data anomaly. You may also be a trailblazer who loves experimenting and finding fresh approaches to resolving data problems and establishing new best practice processes.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who will relish a challenge.
