An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Data and Analytics Team at Northern Care Alliance for a Senior Data Engineer to help migrate the current on‑premises solution to a cloud‑based solution in Azure.
The Data and Analytics Team has recently undergone a period of natural growth and progression which resulted in the opportunity for two Senior Data Engineers to join the existing Data Platform Team.

The team is not only transitioning to a state‑of‑the‑art Azure data platform but we are also implementing an agile multi‑disciplinary, product focused approach to delivering cutting edge insights, data science and visualisations to the organisation.
The Senior Data Engineer is pivotal to the delivery of high‑quality efficient healthcare provision, robust information to operational, clinical and corporate decision makers through the use of on‑demand reporting through our current Data Warehouse and moving forward our cloud‑based data warehouse.
The successful candidate will help to design, develop & implement the trust’s new cloud‑based data warehouse, alongside being responsible for the migration away from legacy on‑prem solutions and replacing them with state‑of‑the‑art cloud based technologies (Azure). In addition, you will also help to maintain & develop existing on‑prem solutions.
