The successful candidate will have experience of identifying and rectifying data quality issues and introducing procedures to rectify problems areas, experience of handling highly sensitive information and knowledge of the NHS long term plan, National CWT dataset and COSD (Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset).
The role requires a high level of data accuracy to meet deadlines and to ensure high standards of service are maintained. You will need strong typing skills and an ability to type under pressure in a live meeting.
Hours could possibly be from 7.00 am start – 7.00 pm finish – depending on your Multi-Disciplinary Team and the numbers of patients for discussion for that week.

You should also have previous admin experience, ideally with experience of working with databases and understanding data collecting processes.
