Job summary
The team is based as part of the wider commissioning hub and will have links with staff working on child and adult social care, as well as wider corporate priorities.
Over the last two years the team has been particularly focused on intelligence to support our response to the pandemic. The coming months will see a transition in this work and provides an opportunity for the right candidate to help shape the team going forward.
Main duties of the job
Hours: 37 per week
Salary: Grade 12
You will lead the Intelligence team to undertake statistical and epidemiological analysis to help shape services across local government and the NHS. You'll be a key link with partner organisations such as the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and will take a lead on the development of needs assessments on behalf of Dudley Health and Wellbeing Partnership Board.
You will need to liaise with senior stakeholders but also provide effective leadership to the Intelligence Team. The team has a strong reputation, in particular following support through the pandemic, and we're looking for someone to build on this and utilise the skills within the team to support key decisions that need to be made about services.
At present the team is working entirely remotely and it is envisioned that this will remain the predominant way of working for the team. There will be some visits to offices in Dudley for collaborative working and team building. We are happy to receive applications from across the UK.
