Arden & GEM is a leading Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) working across the health and care system in England to provide transformational solutions, business support and clinical services.

Job overview
About the Federated Data Platform:
NHS England’s Data and Analytics Directorate is driving the transformation to put patients in control of their data, support clinicians, decision-makers, and researchers with real-time, high-quality data, and empower the NHS Data Community to leverage their skills for high-value opportunities. We pride ourselves on our dedication, creativity, and values-driven approach to improving decision-making across health and care, helping people live healthier, longer lives.
The NHS relies on data every day to manage patient care and plan services, but it is often stored in systems that don’t communicate with each other, creating burdens for both patients and staff. The Federated Data Platform connects these systems, allowing each Trust and Integrated Care Board to manage their own customised version, enhancing data integration and care coordination.
Main duties of the job
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the successful implementation of the Federated Data Platform across NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards.
* Collaborate with Trust stakeholders, overseeing key engagement meetings and building strong relationships to ensure smooth adoption.
* Support the Regional Delivery Manager in managing regional delivery plans and meeting strategic healthcare objectives.
* Oversee the technical onboarding, data validation, and service handover processes for Trusts, ensuring they are aligned with clinical safety and operational needs.
* Provide leadership to Delivery Managers, fostering a high-performing team culture and mentoring others across your region.
* Monitor project progress and milestones using tools such as Jira, Trello, and Confluence, identifying risks and driving continuous improvement.
* Ensuring that trust teams are adequately trained and supported for the effective adoption of new systems.
* Initiating reviews and implementing best practices for ongoing process improvements and efficiencies.
