Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen within London’s world class Major Trauma System for a Mental Health Data Project Analyst to help in developing innovative information capture and reporting mechanisms for reporting to assist the evaluation of the various large programmes being undertaken.

The post holder will be embedded with the Royal London Major Trauma Centre and will provide regular reports on their Key Performance Indicators.

The post holder will work with the Senior Data Analyst who has a pan London leading role in setting up database systems and reporting processes for the Major Trauma Psychology Programme/Pilot.

This includes the evaluation of an integrated model of physical and psychological care for survivors of major trauma at London’s four Major Trauma Centres and providing data/analytical support for the work on major incident planning. The post holder will work with their counterparts in the other Major Trauma Centres in London, the Senior Data Analyst and other BI colleagues to design systems for the capture and analysis of multiple data sets.

The post holder will have sound knowledge of NHS data, and good technical skills in data management, business intelligence and analytics, including data modelling, data visualisation with a focus on building self-service analytics solutions which will allow business users to analyse data themselves.

Main duties of the job

NHS England London’s Violence Reduction programme has a clear remit of ensuring there is appropriate psychological support across London for those that are impacted by violence.

In 2019 the programme explored the pathways that look at the psychological support available from our mental health services and Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) for victims of violence as part of an ongoing function and during major incidence to improve quality of integrated care, equity of access, and equity of care.

The new model of care uses the learning developed in response to the need to support those affected by the 2017 and 2019 terror attacks in London.

As part of the NHS London’s Violence Reduction Programme, this next phase of the programme is being rolled-out in 2023 to ensure that people receive the necessary support: a coordinated mental health response that encompasses the identification and treatment of those suffering through a proactive support offer, with a focus on minimising the long-term effects.

The post holder will have an important role in supporting this transformation agenda in the delivery of a comprehensive integrated model of care for major trauma patients that ensures equity of integrated high quality physical and psychological trauma care in London’s MTCs which can be stepped up when a major incident occurs.

Working for our organisation

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation.
