Graduate Analyst Programme - Healthcare Strategy & Operations
London | November Start
Welbeck is looking for ambitious graduates with strong data analytics skills and hands-on Power BI experience. Over 12 months, you will use data to help leaders make better decisions about healthcare capacity, workforce, investment and patient experience.
You will work directly with operational leaders, clinicians and executives across our London, Oxford and Cambridge centres, taking responsibility for analysis that informs real decisions. You will work on live projects rather than rotating between departments. Expect complex questions, imperfect information and the chance to see your recommendations put into practice.
What you will do
- Dashboards. Build clear, interactive Power BI dashboards that bring together operational, workforce and commercial data to track performance and highlight where action is needed.
- Data people can trust. Clean, combine and validate data from multiple sources, define consistent measures and document assumptions so colleagues can trust and reproduce your analysis.
- Workforce and performance. Analyse trends in retention, productivity and service performance, test possible explanations and distinguish evidence from assumption.
- Capacity and patient flow. Evaluate opportunities to expand capacity and improve theatre utilisation and patient flow, balancing commercial value with patient safety and experience.
- Investment cases. Model the financial and operational impact of investment and process changes, testing how different assumptions affect the recommendation.
- Recommendations. Present concise recommendations to senior leaders, explain the limitations of the evidence and help measure whether agreed changes deliver the intended improvements.
