Full Job Description

We've built a solid base of experience and infrastructure in widely used healthcare technologies like OMOP and FHIR, now we need to expand our tools and processes to take in more use cases for research and process improvement. We work mainly on a small on-premises infrastructure where we're making increasing use of container orchestration and DevOps to run our Python data pipelines; as well as a pilot cloud project which we're currently building out for access to scalable compute and other tools.

No previous experience in research or healthcare is necessary, please apply if you have some of the above technical skills and would like to collaborate closely with clinicians and data scientists to raise the standard of data use in the NHS.

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (GOSH) is an international centre of excellence in child healthcare. Together with our research partner, the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, we form the UK's only academic Biomedical Research Centre specialising in paediatrics.

Since its formation in 1852, the hospital has been dedicated to children's healthcare and to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses.

The Great Ormond Street Hospital Data Research, Innovation and Virtual Environments (DRIVE) Team was created to raise the standard of patient care using technology. Through our Digital Research Environment (DRE) we supply data for research, clinical audit and operational projects while strategising for the most effective, safest deployment of the newest tools., GOSH is committed to recruiting the best person for the job, based solely on their ability and individual merit as measured against the criteria for the role; through a process that is fair, open, consistent and free from bias and discrimination.

We are committed to being a diverse and inclusive employer and foster a culture where all staff are valued, respected and acknowledged. All applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, disability status or length of time spent unemployed.

We particularly welcome applications from BAME communities, people with disabilities and/or long-term health conditions and LGBT+ community members.

We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all applicants and employees are treated fairly and consistently. We are proud to be accredited as a Disability Confident Employer, a member of Business Disability Forum and a Stonewall Diversity Champion.

We have active and Executive supported BAME, LGBT+ and Allies, Disability and Long-Term Health Conditions and Women's staff networks. Staff networks are employee-led groups formed around interests, issues and a common bond or background.

All of our staff networks are open to any employee.
