Healthwatch Lambeth is an award-winning charity funded by Lambeth Council, NHS Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group and several charitable Foundations.  Our contract with the Council has been extended for the next two years and we are in the process of agreeing an ambitious strategy for 2019-21.

We work to get services right for the future and in Lambeth that means that we pay attention to the impact of inequalities on the health and care outcomes for our different communities.  We do this by creating a culture of collaboration and partnership. Partnerships hosted by Healthwatch Lambeth in 2019 are:

1. Lambeth Black Thrive:  this partnership started in 2017 and is funded until 2022.  It was set up to bring together everyone interested in addressing issues surrounding mental health for Black people to ensure that resources and programmes are well co-ordinated, complementary and most importantly reflect the wishes of people affected by mental health inequalities.

2. Lambeth Learning Disability Assembly:  The LLDA is a place for people with a learning disability and their carers to come together to talk about things that are affecting them – and what they want to see happen to make things better. 

3. Advance Care Planning Consortium:  a partnership with Compassion in Dying and other community organisations to raise awareness of advance care planning.

Overview of the role:

Purpose of the job:

To ensure effective and efficient monitoring and evaluation of HWL’s engagement

work, including public participation, information giving, signposting, Enter & View

visits, community research and experience gathering, on the local care system and

the emerging SE London Integrated Care System by tracking whether the real care

needs and experiences of Lambeth residents are heard, understood, and met.

Responsibilities:

• To monitor and evaluate the impact of HWL recommendations with our both care providers and care commissioning teams.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Data & Analytics Manager is a new senior management position in the IBD Registry that reflects both our fast growth and increasing maturity. The primary function of this role is to manage the effective collection, curation and utilisation of clinical data, surgical data, patient reported outcomes and other relevant data.  The goal is to ensure quality IBD data is available to support our goals in quality improvement, service evaluation, pharmacovigilance / post-marketing surveillance and eventually research. You will especially play a key role in the curation, transformation and linkage of the IBD datasets required for the Hub with the Cambridge data specialists.

You will be part of a small and growing and highly collaborative team, reporting directly to and working closely with the CEO, as well as with clinical and academic data specialists including our Academic Lead, a doctor and senior academic in the Health Data department of the University of Liverpool.

ABOUT YOU

To be successful in this role you will be a delivery-focused problem-solver, both organised and adaptable, with massive attention to details and a practical hands-on style. You will have significant experience in data management across the data lifecycle, including ETL (using scripting languages such as Python, C#, JSON, XML), databases (primarily MySQL) and analytics environments (such as R/R Studio).  You will have a strong academic qualification record, showing a disciplined numerate background as a foundation for your later experience in data.  Ideally, you will have come from the healthcare or pharmaceutical industries, or as an alternative from a highly-regulated sector where both data protection and delivery are critical. You may have gained your experience in a large consultancy or in a start-up environment; in either case, your most important attributes will be your rigour in thinking, readiness to learn and your 'can do’ mindset.

Above all, you need to believe in our mission and want to join us to make a difference: our small team makes a big difference in IBD across the UK and this needs to be more than ‘just a job’ for you.
