About The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Engineer to join the fast-growing Data and Analytics team at NHS Professionals (NHSP) and support us to build and optimize mission-critical data solutions that power healthcare staffing across the NHS.
As a Senior Data Engineer at NHS Professionals(NHSP), you will be at the forefront of developing and maintaining mission-critical data infrastructure that powers efficient healthcare staffing across the NHS. This role combines technical expertise with healthcare domain impact, as you'll architect and implement data solutions that directly influence how over 180,000 bank members are deployed across NHS trusts.
Working with our modern Azure cloud platform, you'll develop sophisticated data pipelines that process and transform complex healthcare staffing data from multiple sources. Your solutions will help optimize workforce deployment, ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, and provide crucial insights for NHS staffing decisions.
You'll bring your expertise in Azure services (including Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, Data bricks, and SQL Database) to design scalable, secure, and efficient data solutions. This involves not only building robust ETL/ELT processes but also ensuring they meet the stringent security and governance requirements necessary for handling sensitive healthcare data.
You'll work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including data analysts, workforce specialists, and clinical professionals, translating complex technical concepts into accessible solutions. While this is not a team lead position, you'll have opportunities to mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical direction of our data platform.
If you have the above skill set and want to make an impact, we would love to hear from you!
