**Introduction**

The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is a system leader for health security; taking action internationally to strengthen global health security, providing trusted advice to government and the public and reducing inequalities in the way different communities experience and are impacted by infectious disease, environmental hazards, and other threats to health.

UKHSA’s remit, as an agency with a global-to-local reach, is to protect the health of the nation from infectious diseases and other external threats to health. As the nation’s expert national health security agency UKHSA will:
Prevent: anticipate threats to health and help build the nation’s readiness, defences and health security

Detect: use cutting edge environmental and biological surveillance to proactively detect and monitor infectious diseases and threats to health

Analyse: use world-class science and data analytics to assess and continually monitor threats to health, identifying how best to control and mitigate the risks

Respond: take rapid, collaborative and effective actions nationally and locally to mitigate threats to health when they materialise

Lead: lead strong and sustainable global, national, regional and local partnerships designed to save lives, protect the nation from public health threats and reduce inequalities.

**Surveillance Systems and Bioinformatics**

Based within the Data Operations Directorate, the Surveillance Systems and Bioinformatics Division works across the organisation and with external partners to lead the design, development, maintenance and delivery of surveillance systems, with a focus on accessibility, interoperability and improving health security outcomes. The Division is also responsible for the provision of an informatics capability to support laboratory services and has oversight of the UKHSA bioinformatics function to support whole genome sequencing.

**The Bioinformatics Unit**

The main responsibility of the Unit is to design, develop and/or implement fully automated bioinformatics software for the analysis of microbial whole genome sequencing data to support the diagnostic, reference and research activities of the NIS. This is an ‘end to end’ service from raw sequence data to reporting of results (eg quality metrics, species identification, and presence or absence of specific genes). The Bioinformatics Unit works closely with other bioinformaticians in the organisation.

The Unit has accreditation to ISO 15189 for its routine services. In addition, the Unit is working with MHRA to ensure we satisfy the new requirements for Health Institution Exemption (HIE) of the EU regulations on Medical Devices, which were updated in 2017 to include software and ‘apps’

**Job Overview**

The post holder will actively build and maintain a network of support for the Surveillance Systems and Bioinformatics Division, ensuring staff at all levels are supported in embedding quality and best practice throughout our services.

The postholder will play a leading role in the creation, management and upkeep of a Health Surveillance Systems Quality Ma
