Website The Health Foundation

The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.

We are excited to be able to offer two fixed-term Senior Analytical Manager roles in the Data Analytics Directorate. We are looking for motivated and talented individuals with an excellent track record in leading teams to deliver research and analysis to improve health and care, or in a related field.

The roles are based in the Core Analytics Team, a sub-team of around 10 staff within Data Analytics. We use cutting-edge approaches to provide insights about the health of the UK population, as well as health and care system performance. We also support analysts across the Foundation with access to data and tools, and support and promote the use of data analytics across the health and care system.

Current work across the team includes: work exploring NHS performance, for example elective care waiting lists; exploring new ways to link health and care data; developing a portfolio of work examining trends in health across the UK; and, leadership of the Foundation’s data strategy.

There are two exciting roles available:

• Senior Analytical Manager (maternity cover) – Fixed-term contract until 31 July 2025
• Senior Analytical Manager – Fixed-term contract until 31 March 2026

The two Senior Analytical Managers work together to lead the Core Analytics Team, working closely with the Assistant Director and Director of Data Analytics. The Senior Analytical Managers also work to develop an environment where the team can thrive, working together, and with individual people managers to promote the development of our people, team science, open working, and patient and public involvement and engagement. They also play a crucial role in working with colleagues across the Foundation’s three strategic priorities to develop and deliver an ambitious programme of analytical research that makes an important contribution to achieving the Foundation’s mission.

Individual areas of responsibility will be agreed with the successful candidates based on the team’s current work programme, but we would expect each Senior Analytical Manager to take responsibility for one of the following:

• developing and leading an ambitious and substantive longer-term programme of analytical research, develop collaborations with academia, and drive publication of our work in peer review journals
• leading an ambitious and fast-paced programme of shorter-term analysis seeking to respond to current policy issues and priorities.
