The Data Engineer will play a key role in the development and operation of the organisation’s modern data architecture, supporting the implementation of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and the wider digital data ecosystem. The postholder will design and maintain robust data pipelines, integrations and engineering solutions that enable secure, reliable and high-quality data flows across clinical systems, analytics platforms and national services.
Although hybrid working is in place and available across the team, as this role will be key to the EPR programme there will be a requirement to be on site at Sherwood Forest Hospitals a minimum of 3 days per week.
The postholder will ensure that data is accurately extracted, transformed and loaded (ETL) into the new EPR platform, maintaining integrity, security and compliance with NHS standards. They will work closely with technical teams, suppliers and clinical stakeholders to deliver reliable data solutions that support safe and efficient patient care.
The role aligns with the NHS National Competency Framework for Data Professionals and represents a Senior Practitioner–level data engineering position. The postholder will support the wider organisational data agenda by ensuring alignment between the EPR, the data platform and other core systems, contributing to major transformation programmes and the ongoing development of the Trust’s data infrastructure.
They will help shape the Trust’s future data architecture by ensuring that EPR and related system data can be securely integrated with organisational and national platforms, including the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), in line with interoperability and governance requirements.
As priorities evolve, the postholder will work across areas such as system integration, platform development, pipeline optimisation and the enhancement of organisational data assets. This flexible approach ensures specialist engineering capability is deployed where it delivers the greatest benefit, supporting programme delivery and the long‑term sustainability of the Trust’s data and digital services.
