An opportunity has arisen for an information analyst to join our Analytical Services team at Harrogate & District NHS Foundation Trust. The post holder will form part of a small team of information professionals and deliver an information service that supports the requirements of the Trust including routine internal and external reporting (including central returns to NHS England and contract reports to commissioners) and managing an adhoc information service.
The successful candidate will be highly numerate, have experience in the analysis, interpretation and presentation of complex data and be able to engage with clinicians and managers to design and develop information reports to support improvements to service delivery and performance.
