Are you passionate about using evidence and data for good? As a new role, you will have the exciting opportunity to support and transform how we use health-related dementia data in the development and curation of our strategic evidence base. Clear and impactful data is key to understanding the scale and impact of dementia in the UK, and this role will be pivotal to ensuring we’ve got what we need.
Your role will be critical to informing research, influencing and engagement activity through deep-dive analysis and synthesis of existing data, identification of potential data gaps and methods to fill them, and the production of jargon-free, engaging interpretation and information for both internal and external use.
You will work alongside the Dementia Data and Intelligence Lead, together providing expertise on evidence, data and insight in the context of dementia, ensuring that the Society’s decisions and interpretation of dementia and the system are based on the highest quality of dementia evidence. You’ll also work closely with other members of the Strategic Evidence team - our in-house experts for dementia data, economics, care and clinical research evidence, responsible for gathering and generating evidence on the scale and impact of dementia across the UK, contributing authoritative, impactful evidence to inform policy making and strategic decision-making.
You will be part of an even larger Evidence, Policy & Influencing (EP&I) function, which is laser-focused on ending the devastation of dementia through changing policy.

You’re a trusted expert and critical friend, always considering the impact of your work on people affected by dementia.
Essential experience:

- Qualification in a discipline relevant to data analysis or equivalent demonstrable work experience.
- Skills in using statistical analysis techniques to draw impactful conclusions from complex data sets.
- Skills in data visualisation with the ability to tailor the communication of your findings to different audiences, using tools such as Power BI or ArcGIS.
- Experience of using software packages or coding languages to efficiently process data and produce shareable outputs (R Studio, SQL, Python etc.).
- Experience of preparing briefings, reports and other creative assets to support the sharing and mobilisation of data insights.
- Experience of providing advice and guidance on how to use data insights to team members and other internal colleagues.
- Experience of analysing and appraising data to inform policy and/or strategic decision making.
- Experience in using project and stakeholder management skills to deliver and monitor projects of work that require internal and external collaboration.

In addition to this, you will:

- Be a true team player, supporting colleagues and knowing when to ask for help.
- Be eager and able to work at a pace in a complex environment.
- Be independently minded and a critical thinker; curious and constantly questioning the status quo.
- Be an exceptional communicator, passionate about sharing best practices, insights and feedback effectively.
- For this application, we strongly recommend including a supporting statement letting us know how you meet the essential criteria and why you are motivated for this role.

What you’ll focus on:

- Informing data advocacy, helping us demonstrate a case for change around the need for improvements in dementia data, by building a deep understanding of the quality and quantity of health-related dementia data.
- Supporting the development and implementation of a strategic approach that enables the use of dementia specific and other relevant data in our strategic evidence base.
- Combining datasets from various sources externally, generating actionable insights on the scale and impact of dementia that are understandable and impactful for different audiences and purposes.
- Creating engaging content for internal and external use, using appropriate data visualisations to present data in engaging and easily interpretable ways for non-data professionals.
