Report Developer
Band 7
Job overview
The Healthcare Analytics Department has an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual to work as a Report Developer within its Analysis and Reporting function team.
The Healthcare Analytics department is pivotal to ensuring the data and analytics needs of the organisation are met and in supporting the organisation to make data driven, evidence based, decisions.
The Report Developer will be responsible for designing, building, updating, testing and maintaining various reporting solutions, including automated reports and dashboards using Power BI, across a broad range of areas. The successful candidate will be proficient in both SQL and Power BI and have proven experience in these areas.
Mid and South Essex along with its partners across the Integrated Care System in Mental and Community Health are embarking on an ambitious and exciting 'first of type' EPR deployment which will see a single Unified Electronic Patient Record system (EPR) implemented across all care settings. You will work supporting this programme to ensure the team's priority reports are re-developed and available for go-live.
This role is fully remote and therefore the successful candidate will require a suitable home working environment.
Main duties of the job
You will competently produce dashboards and reports and will need to have experience of working in an analytics and/or reporting environment and experience of extracting and processing data from different source systems as well as building complex reports and dashboards. You should be technically competent in SQL and Power BI and be seen as a subject matter expert on technical solutions. As part of our EPR programme, you will be supporting re-development of reports and dashboards using the new infrastructure and reporting platforms and it will be essential that you're able to manage your own workload and meet delivery deadlines.
The Analysis and Reporting team is a welcoming, experienced and supportive team. There are clear and documented processes to help the team members navigate through the various requirements of their roles.
To support home working there are daily huddles to understand priorities for the day, key achievements and successes to be celebrated and opportunity to raise any issues or identify where support is required. There are also team meetings to monitor delivery against our EPR programme where you will need to provide progress updates and actively contribute.
Working for our organisation
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
