Do you want your data skills to make a real difference to children and families?
We are looking for an experienced and motivated health data professional to join our Public Health Nursing Service and play a key role in strengthening data quality and insight across Health Visiting and School Nursing.
Public Health Nursing sits at the heart of prevention, safeguarding and early intervention. This role is central to ensuring the information that underpins these services is accurate, meaningful and used well to support safe, effective and equitable care across Hertfordshire.
Main duties of the job
You will lead on data quality improvement and analysis, producing clear and timely reporting that supports service planning, quality improvement and performance management. Working closely with clinicians, service leads, Business Intelligence and commissioners, you will help strengthen data flows, definitions and recording practice.
A key part of the role is supporting colleagues to feel confident using data. This includes offering guidance, training and problem solving, not just producing reports. Your work will directly inform senior decision making, audits, service reviews and transformation projects.
Job responsibilities
You will have strong experience working with health information and clinical systems, ideally including SystmOne, and be confident using Excel and reporting tools. You will be able to explain data clearly to non-technical audiences and have a track record of improving data quality. A strong understanding of information governance is essential.
If you are passionate about using data to improve services and outcomes, we would love to hear from you.
