Health Analysis Trainee

The NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) offers trainees a 20-day induction, in-role experience on placements, post-graduate education and pastoral care. Also, the freedom of a 2 month 'flexi' placement designed by you. Our programme supports you in developing skills, experience and confidence to begin your leadership journey successfully. You'll be on the Scheme for two years and as one of 200 trainees across six specialisms, you will join a network of future leaders in the NHS. Trainees earn an average of £44k in their first NHS role, after graduating from the Scheme. Data is integral to decision making in the NHS. Accurate data is essential to inform policies and design services to meet patient need. As a Health Analysis trainee, you will use mathematical and statistical approaches and work with large and complex data sets. Trainees identify opportunities to improve patient experience, develop tools to enable effective long-term planning and crucially, evaluate success and identify areas for improvement. On placement, you could be modelling future levels of hospital activity, developing tools to analyse and improve organisational performance or evaluating the success of a new process to continue the improvement of patient care. Trainees work towards a Postgraduate Diploma in Data Analytics, delivered by University College London or the University of Manchester. Previous modules have included: Health Data Analysis Principles, Statistical Methods for Health Data Analytics, Machine Learning in Health Care, Patient Safety and Clinical Risk, and Key Principles of Health Economics. Trainees on all specialisms work towards a qualification in Healthcare Leadership in their first year on the scheme. In addition to formal qualifications, trainees also participate in experiential and action learning, to develop their leadership skills more broadly Most trainees stay within NHS England or NHS Improvement, but some move to a role in an NHS Trust in an operational capacity to be closer to the frontline. Trainees move into a wide range of roles on graduation, including: Data & Information Analyst, Business Intelligence, Clinical Coding Analyst, Performance Analyst and Commercial Development Analyst. "Health Analysis is so important to understand how organisations function at an operational and strategic level, this ensures the best performance and therefore the best patient care. By using qualitative and quantitative data we can make sure that key clinical targets are met. That ensures that the care we provide to patients is effective as it can be." Alice, Health Analysis

Competitive salary You'll receive a minimum starting salary of £29,225 on commencement, plus where applicable (dependant on the location of your placement) the NHS High Cost Area Supplement (HCAS). All trainees, subject to satisfactory probation and ongoing work and academic performance, will have the opportunity of a salary increase to £31,473 after 12 months. Fully funded study package Education is an important component of the NHS GMTS. You'll study for at least one professional qualification during your time with us. There are no academic costs to trainees, the qualifications are fully funded. Network A crucial benefit of the programme is the network you will be part of - not only with other trainees, but experts and leaders, HR and learning professionals as well as other key stakeholders in the programme. This provides a great opportunity to share insights and learn from each other, gaining knowledge about the wider organisation. NHS Pension Scheme We will automatically enrol you onto the highly regarded NHS Pension Scheme when you start with us. Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) The Employee Assistance Programme is a 24 hours a day 7 days a week confidential service, which can support colleagues with a range of issues including relationships, stress, legal and financial concerns, bereavement and discrimination. Cycle to work The Cycle2Work scheme is available through Halfords, Tredz and various independent retailers. It's run via salary sacrifice, meaning you will pay less tax and National Insurance, allowing you to make savings of up to 47% on the cost of hiring a new bike and equipment. This is to the value of between £100 and £3,000. The scheme is available once you have completed your probation period. What we are looking for We're looking for candidates with potential to develop into the NHS leaders of tomorrow. Our placements are challenging but rewarding and you'll be required to undertake post-graduate study. A commitment to improving people's health and their experience of the NHS is crucial of course. If you're thinking about joining our Scheme, it's important to consider the principles and values that will become core to your role as a trainee and as a future leader. The NHS Constitution for England sets out the principles that bind together the communities and people the NHS serves - patients and public - and the staff who work for it. The Scheme, and indeed all NHS jobs, are open to eligible candidates from all backgrounds. Qualification and experience requirements
