We are looking for highly motivated individuals, someone who enjoys working as part of a team and can demonstrate a commitment to delivering a high-quality service. The successful applicants will need to be able to work under pressure, be responsive to fast moving deadlines and maintain positive, constructive relationships with a wide range of individuals, and organisations, and be able to prioritise their own work.

This post is fixed term/secondment until march 2024 due to meet the needs of the service.

Experience of working of the NHS and clinical knowledge would be advantageous, however practical experience and knowledge of the following would be particularly desirable:

- SQL proficiency 
- The ability to build comprehensive Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) routines 
- Database administration, maintenance and monitoring skills 
- Managing Stakeholder requirements, expectations 
- Delivering technically innovative solutions in a timely manner 
- Comprehensive documentation skills 
- A champion of Data Warehouse methodologies and best-practice. 
- Problem solving ability 
- Proficient communication ability (verbal and written) 

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) is part of the NHS Wales family and has an important role in changing the way health and care services are delivered through technology and data. The organisation supports frontline staff with modern systems and access to important information about their patients, while empowering the people of Wales to manage their own health through digital NHS Wales services.

Working for DHCW offers lots of employee benefits, including flexible working, a competitive salary, 28 days of annual leave plus Bank Holidays and opportunities for career development. We are committed to recognising and celebrating our staff as the most valuable part of our organisation.

Join our game changing, life-saving team and start making a real difference to health and care services in Wales.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a motivated individual to take the next step in their career whilst supporting critical workstreams. If you are someone with the drive to improve patient outcomes, with the desire and aptitude to implement technical initiatives then this role is perfect for you.

We offer a range of opportunities for continuous professional development with in-house training, workshops and seminars, as well as external training providers.

Depending on experience we may offer the post as a Band 6 Lead Specialist. If appointed as an Information Officer, progression to the next pay band is dependent on meeting an agreed set of competency criteria managed through Personal Development Review (PDR). Once those criteria are met you will automatically progress to Band 6 Lead Specialist.
