The Opportunity
You will be joining a data services team responsible for sensitive, high-volume clinical and operational data. The core objective of this role is to bridge the gap between established on-premise systems and a growing Azure cloud environment.

Take ownership of existing

packages. You will troubleshoot, optimize, and extend these pipelines to ensure seamless data ingestion from various clinical systems.

ecosystem. You will work heavily with Azure SQL, Data Factory, and potentially Synapse to modernize data flows.
Reporting & Visualisation:
Maintain and upgrade legacy

paginated reports that are vital for regulatory compliance.
Design interactive, insight-driven dashboards using
Power BI
for executive and operational stakeholders.
Data Governance:
Champion data accuracy and integrity, ensuring all solutions adhere to strict privacy and compliance standards inherent in the health sector.

Essential:
Cloud:
Extensive commercial experience with
Microsoft Azure
(Data Factory, SQL DB, Storage).
ETL:
Deep expertise in
SSIS
(SQL Server Integration Services)—you must be comfortable managing complex existing packages.
Reporting:
Strong proficiency in
SSRS
for operational reporting and
Power BI
(DAX, Modelling) for analytics.
Database:
Advanced T-SQL scripting and performance tuning abilities.
Desirable:
Previous experience working with healthcare data sets (HL7, PAS, EMR data) is highly regarded.
Experience in data migration projects moving from on-premise to cloud.
Why join this team?
