This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic Level 7 Health & Care Intelligence Specialist Apprentice to join our Public Health team.
The Role
The Health & Care Intelligence Specialist Apprentice will focus on analysing health and care data to improve public health outcomes, support policy-making, and enhance the efficiency of healthcare services. The role involves working with large datasets, collaborating with other local government departments and NHS services, and ensuring compliance with public health regulations.
The post will also support strategic decision-making by contributing to evidence-based insights and supporting the application of data as intelligence that can inform policy and practice.
This role provides on-the-job training for junior analysts who would like to progress their career into more senior posts. You will have a desire to learn new skills through the level 7 apprenticeship, have the ability to complete intensive, modular learning and be practically minded, translating that learning to opportunities in the workplace. You will be part of a cohort of apprentices. Learning is delivered remotely and you will bring that learning into the workplace, providing innovative solutions for analytical tasks. You will be supported with work-based tasks to help you achieve the knowledge, skills and behaviours being assessed.
