This will include ensuring the Trust's information reporting obligations to the Department of Health, NHS Digital, NHS England and Commissioners are met.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and experience of working to a high standard are essential. The post holder should also be competent in the use of information software (e.g. SQL and Cognos) to extract and analyse the necessary data. The successful candidate will also have a solid understanding of statistical analysis techniques.
