Job overview
Do you enjoy investigating data, developing reports, visualising and presenting your findings? Are you a problem solver? Do you have an intrepid approach to sharing knowledge and a proven track record of excellent stakeholder engagement? Would you like to help shape the future of the Health and Social Care System across Dorset?
We are seeking a Business Intelligence Partner to join our innovative and responsive Business Intelligence Service at Dorset County Hospital (DCH). This is an exciting opportunity to join a friendly team responsible for developing analytics to support effective, data driven, operational and strategic decision making; working collaboratively with partners to help advance and monitor services to meet the evolving needs of the Integrated Care System (ICS) for the population of Dorset.
To us, a Business Intelligence Partner is not only an established data professional, but also a key representative of Business Intelligence and a role model within the team.
This position represents an excellent opportunity for personal and professional development with huge scope to make a difference to the way we deliver services in Dorset, and significantly impact outcomes for patients and our population.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate a confident, flexible, pro-active and responsive approach combined with the resilience to deal with shifting priorities and demands.
As an enthusiastic individual with the ability to build effective working relationships, you will ideally have experience of delivering business intelligence across multiple stakeholder groups. Ensuring effective engagement and communications is a critical aspect of this role. The ability to provide analytical support, quickly assimilate complex or conflicting information, and determine appropriate action is essential. Detailed working knowledge of the Health and Care system is desirable, but not essential.
You will be passionate about using the latest innovations, designing, and delivering reporting solutions using data warehouses and data visualisation tools such as PowerBI to deliver insights which support strategic and operational decision making.
Working within our team you will be instrumental in the design and delivery of Dorset’s approach to working collaboratively with ICS stakeholders, including the Dorset Intelligence and Insight Service (DiiS), ensuring that Business Intelligence needs are developed, maintained, and delivered.
The team work flexibly and support a hybrid working arrangement (split between office and remote locations), with a requirement to meet regularly at Dorset County Hospital and across ICS partner sites.
Working for our organisation
At Dorset County Hospital (DCH) we aspire to providing outstanding care for people in ways which matter to them. Our trust strategy is focussed on three strategic goals: People, Place, and Partnership. It signals our intention to truly value our staff. Our people are our most important asset, and we want them to feel valued, welcomed, respected, they belong and matter. We recognise the link between high levels of staff satisfaction and improving patient experience and outcomes.
We are a Trust that celebrates diversity, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Dorset County Hospital has a number of employees from overseas delivering high quality services and we recognise the value of diversity in leadership. We welcome applications from people in all under-represented groups.
