This is an exciting opportunity to join the Research and Evaluation Division in Public Health Wales as a Data Analyst within the Evaluation Team working on the Optimising Pathways Improvement Programme (OPIP). This programme will transform obesity care across Wales through MyPath Cymru, a nationally coordinated, digitally enabled pathway designed to improve access to evidence-based weight management support, reduce health inequalities and create Wales’ first national obesity outcomes dataset.
A multifaceted evaluation is being undertaken as part of the programme, covering outcome, economic, process, implementation and equity components. Drawing on routine service data, national datasets and linked data sources, the Data Analyst will work as a core member of the evaluation team to help develop and implement the analytical approach and generate insights on clinical outcomes, service performance, equity of access, workforce impacts and cost-effectiveness across Wales.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
