Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, life-shortening condition for which there is currently no cure. Those with the condition face a daily battle to stay well, which includes an intensive daily burden of treatment from diagnosis and throughout life. The disease affects everyone differently and can limit life in a number of ways, but treatments are improving all the time.

Our helpline is open five days a week and takes over 3,500 enquiries a year. The helpline is often the first point of contact when someone gets in touch with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and is the gateway to our information and support services. Through these services, we aim to empower people with cystic fibrosis to live a life unlimited by the condition. With line management responsibility for our two Helpline Officers, you will be a key point of contact on the helpline, answering queries, seeking out information, ensuring our community can access our peer-to-peer support, financial support and welfare advice, as well as signposting to other sources of information and support and providing a knowledgeable, friendly and empathetic listening ear.

Working as part of a small and supportive team, you will bring exemplary interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to listen carefully to an enquirer and work with them to identify how we can best support them. You’ll ensure that everyone contacting our helpline receives effective information and support in a timely manner, and that our service is understanding, professional, and sensitively delivered.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring we can record and report on the outcomes and impact of our helpline, as well as developing the service to ensure accessibility through exploring new channels (social media, chat services etc). You will also develop and maintain policies and procedures, ensuring the team is supported to deliver a professional and comprehensive helpline service. A keen eye for detail, an empowering approach to line management, and the ability to translate the needs of people we support into innovative service delivery, will be essential.

The closing date for applications is 31 July 2020, and interviews will take place on 12 August (we anticipate that these interviews will be conducted virtually).

Benefits include 30 days annual leave.

About us

We are the only national membership body in England that specifically and solely supports place-based local VCSE infrastructure organisations across the country.  We have around 180 members who between them offer (at last estimate) around 160,000 local charities and voluntary organisations the support they need to thrive.

As the hub of this network of locally focused organisations we are heavily member focused – without our members we are nothing, and we are passionate advocates of the crucial role our members play in the ecosystem of the VCSE sector.

We are a small, highly collaborative, outcome focused and dynamic team.  Our culture is one of mutual support, and we are committed to ‘excellence, everywhere.’  We work at pace, responding to the needs of our members and to the opportunities that arise to act on their behalf – and that can mean that sometimes things can feel complex and challenging.  Sometimes we get things wrong! And we aim to learn from what doesn’t go well, and we share our learning openly and authentically.

We have a small office hub in Sheffield, but everyone on the team is contractually home based and primarily works remotely.  We gather regularly (when not in the midst of a global pandemic) to meet face to face, and we use technology to ensure high levels of communication and collaboration throughout the working week.

We are not currently a racially diverse organisation, but we are committed to making the necessary changes to ensure that Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic candidates and potential colleagues will feel welcomed and supported to succeed and thrive in our organisation. 

We are committed to the ‘Open to All’ campaign and do not currently require any specific qualifications for any of our roles.  We are currently reviewing all our policies through an actively anti-racist lens, and we have for the past eighteen months practised blind recruitment supported by active diversity monitoring.

How to apply

Please follow the application instructions carefully to support our blind recruitment process:

To apply for this role, we would like you to send us your CV and a short covering letter – no more than two sides of A4. 

You should remove any references to your name, email address, home address, date of birth or dates of education, but please ensure both documents are headed with  your phone number – this will be your unique identifier throughout the process (and means that we can contact you!)

Your covering letter should evidence, with examples, how you meet the core competencies described in the role profile.

You should also confirm your immediate availability for the role and your location (town or city).

When you apply you will be asked to complete an anonymised diversity monitoring survey.  We would appreciate your support in enabling us to track the diversity of our applicants as part of our commitment to improving the diversity of our organisation.

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.
