TIS Data Analyst

NHS AfC: Band 7

Our Organisation

We share the core values set out in the NHS Constitution, which all colleagues are expected to demonstrate.

We support you to work in a way that is best for the NHS, our patients and you and your colleagues. Talk to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement, whether that’s a job share, part time, hybrid working or another flexible pattern.

Job overview

The Trainee Information System (TIS) Data Analyst role presents an exciting opportunity to be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile development team. The team develops and supports digital products and services aimed at supporting and improving Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education (PMDE) including the working lives of doctors and dentists in training as well as its supporting roles and systems. The TIS team is currently split into two product teams. This role will work closely with the administrator focussed product team, developing products and services for those who administer workforce, training and education programmes as well as its wider stakeholders. 

As a key member team, you will work closely with the other members of the team from different disciplines, ranging from full-stack developers to business analysts and user researchers. You will also work closely with wider business areas and a network of data leads developing specialist expertise and knowledge of PMDE related data in the process. The multi-disciplinary nature of the team along with its remit will provide the successful applicant the unique opportunity to fully explore the problem space to create well-rounded solutions and help to bring them into fruition.  

TIS is a national team and although we have two hubs in London and Manchester, you can base yourself from any NHS England office across the country subject to approval. 

Candidates selected for interview will need to pass a technical test on SQL.

Main duties of the job

Specifically, you will:    

  • Work as part of a multi-disciplinary product team in an agile environment to continually improve, develop and iterate TIS services. 
  • Apply tools and techniques for data analysis and data visualisation, including the use of business information tools e.g., Tableau and SQL. 
  • Identify, collect, and migrate data to and from a range of systems. 
  • Manage, clean, abstract, and aggregate data alongside a range of analytical studies on that data. 
  • Manipulate and link different data sets. 
  • Summarise and present data and conclusions in the most appropriate format for users. 

Working for our organisation

NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.

Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department. 

If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.

Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.

We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

You will be highly numerate and an experienced analyst familiar with using a variety of analytical, statistical, and reporting tools and techniques. You will be an excellent communicator, and confident in working with users, and be committed to quality and continuous improvement.   

Along with your colleagues you will work to make a success of our approach to developing products, data collections and using the National Data Warehouse to meet the needs of all our users. 

Please note that the reason for the fixed term of this contract is due to a short-term vacancy. 

You can find further details about the role, including key responsibilities and accountabilities, alongside the organisational structure and person specification in the attached Job Description and other supporting documents.

Secondments

Applicants from within the NHS will be offered on a secondment basis only, agreement should be obtained from their employer prior to submitting the application.
