Overview
Public Health Knowledge and Intelligence Analyst – ASC Specialist (Fixed term for 2 years). As an analyst in Wirral Council’s Public Health team, you will contribute to ambitious plans to improve health and wellbeing and increase analytical capacity to achieve our aims. This role is part of the Public Health Research and Intelligence Team, providing intelligence and insight to inform priority programmes and address rising demand for adult social care services. You will collaborate across the Council and with external stakeholders to deliver specialist public health analytical input and evidence-based recommendations.
About The Role
You will lead on delivering a programme of work designed to understand and mitigate the rising trend in demand for adult social care services. Reporting to the Senior Public Health Knowledge and Intelligence Specialist and working closely with the Consultant in Public Health, Adult Social Care colleagues and the local NHS, you will establish the best approach for delivering this programme of work and enable evidence-based recommendations for addressing demand for adult social care.
About The Candidate
We are looking for a candidate who has good knowledge of health and care data, advanced public health analytical skills and strong problem-solving capacity. The successful candidate will be able to undertake epidemiological analyses to assess and describe current health patterns and drivers of demand for adult social care services, and model and forecast future trends. You should have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be able to convey complex information accessibly. You will be educated to degree level and have substantial experience of undertaking specialist and complex analyses to inform decision-making. Experience of working with adult social care data is advantageous but not essential.
