Director of Business Intelligence
Band 9
Job overview
NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a statutory NHS organisation responsible for developing a plan for meeting the health needs of our communities, managing the NHS budget, and arranging for the provision of joined up health services which improve the lives of people who live and work in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
By collaborating as an integrated care system (ICS) our health and care organisations can tackle complex challenges, including:
· improving the health of children and young people
· supporting people to stay well and independent
· acting sooner to help those with preventable conditions
· supporting those with long-term conditions or mental health issues
· caring for those with multiple needs as populations age
· getting the best from collective resources so people get care as quickly as possible.
Main duties of the job
This director of information, intelligence and insights role provides the opportunity to be part of a change to the way we deliver health and care services in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly; we need a greater focus on prevention, reducing health inequalities by providing equitable access, outcomes and experience, joining up pathways for the benefit of the users and ensuring care is delivered by the right person, in the right place at the right time. Population health management is key to this approach; we need to ensure we have the correct data sets, use all the data we have available well and adopt a data driven approach to planning and delivery of health and care.
Each integrated care system (ICS) in England is required to develop a cross-system intelligence function (IF). These are intended to be system-wide and multi-disciplinary collaborations of intelligence professionals (including data engineers, data analysts, data scientists and qualitative researchers), with representation from analytical leaders and key teams. Intelligence functions will support a breadth of strategic, clinical and operational decisions at ICS level.
Working for our organisation
We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse work environment and are always keen to hear from people who would like to work with us. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, disability or long-term health condition, gender identity or expression, race or ethnicity, faith, sex, sexuality or veteran status.
We are looking for people whose personal values and behaviours align with the NHS values outlined in the NHS Constitution and our own values and behaviours.
You can look forward to excellent benefits including discounts schemes, optional pension and life assurance, flexible working, salary sacrifice vehicles and cycles and much more.
Hybrid working
We offer the flexibility to work from an office (Bodmin, Truro or St Austell), and from home, depending on the requirements of the team.
