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.

More information and how to apply

We are delighted that you are interested in the role of Communications and Content Co-ordinator here at Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF).  We are looking for an outstanding individual to work with our newly formed team as we take APF through a significant period of development and growth.  This is a particularly exciting time to join our team.

Pulmonary fibrosis refers to a specific group of lung diseases thought to be affecting around 70,000 people in the UK. The nature of these diseases all cause hardening and scarring of the lungs, preventing the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream. It has a devastating impact on quality of life and life expectancy.

The debilitating nature of these diseases means as people become increasing breathless their need for physical and emotional support become greater. Pulmonary fibrosis affects every area of family life.  Yet there is very little dedicated support available to patients and families affected.

These are some of the many reasons Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) exists.

Since APF was set up as a charity in 2013 we have established ourselves as a respected and influential charity.  APF has grown in impact and scale since it was formed.  We have agreed a new Strategic Plan for 2019-2024 which sets out our direction for the coming years.

The Communications and content co-ordinator is an important appointment that will assume responsibility for developing our creative content across our digital and print channels. You’ll grow and upskill our team and wider community in digital communications and capture content from our community which amplifies their voice. You’ll help everyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis know of APF and our services and create engaging content which inspires a good quality of life.

We are a collaborative, hard-working and fun team, with lots of mutual respect and support to reach organisational goals.  In your role you’ll need to demonstrate care and compassion, flexibility, be highly organised and solution focussed.

If you believe you have the experience, skills and qualities we are looking for, we very much look forward to hearing from you.

Our teams are working hard to provide the best advice for people in difficult situations. We’re responding rapidly to people’s changing needs, and helping those who need us most.

The Lab is a small multidisciplinary team, within the Customer Journey team. We do rapid experimentation in areas we know less about to find new ways to meet the needs of our users.  

We do this in the leanest possible way. For example, in our Speech to Text experiment we tested a prototype without using the technology at all. 

We’re here to help Citizens Advice transform its processes, ways of working, and technology to better meet our users’ needs. This means our experiments are as often behavioural as they are technological. The Lab takes an inventive, responsible and generous approach to its work, building on the expertise and ideas of colleagues across the network. It works openly, with a core team of innovation experts and in collaboration with colleagues from other disciplines. 

As one of two product owners in the Lab your role will be to ensure the effective development and delivery of ideation, experimentation and prototyping of ideas for the Citizens Advice of the future. The role is responsible for leading the incubation phase of these propositions, as well as building engagement and ownership across the organisation for successful scaling. 

You will be doing this through co-designing an Incubator Network – a group of local Citizens Advice offices who we work with to test and pilot ideas – and by working with a diverse group of collaborators. Systemic change is an important part of what we do, and collaboration skills are key.

Candidates will have:

• Experience of delivering user-centered digital products and services, working with multidisciplinary product teams.
• Ability to plan and facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders to prioritise user needs and product plans, working within resource constraints. 
• Excellent ability to form product backlogs, responding to stakeholder influence while prioritising user-centred features.
• The skills to develop and communicate a product vision and strategy.

Come and join us!

We’re an equal opportunity employer and prize diversity as a strength. Everyone is welcome at Citizens Advice. We offer flexible working, and are open to part-time and job sharing too. In fact, several of our leadership team members work four days a week.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice.
