If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.
We have an exciting opportunity for someone to gain experience and expertise in public health intelligence, working as part of the DHSC Local Knowledge and Intelligence Service (LKIS).
LKIS contributes to achieving the DHSC purpose by delivering analysis, training and insight. Part of the DHSC Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), LKIS works as a distributed network with a team in each of the seven health regions. Our goal is to support more effective and efficient regional & local health intelligence systems and improved data-informed decision-making on health and care.
Based within the Places and Regions Directorate, each regional LKIS team works as part of the OHID public health regional team, led by the Regional Director of Public Health. The regional team works closely with health intelligence specialists and other partners in local systems. LKIS has strong ethos of collaboration and innovation, serving as a source of expertise in public health intelligence.
This role is offered as an apprenticeship. Undertaking the Health and Care Intelligence Specialist (Level 7) apprenticeship is a requirement of the role.
As a Public Health Intelligence Analyst, you will be part of a dynamic team responsible for delivering an effective programme of health intelligence to inform public health delivery in England. You will be embedded in one of the seven LKIS regional teams and work with the team and other OHID colleagues to deliver high quality analysis and other health intelligence related activity to inform public health policy and practice.
