Are you committed to helping us regulate health and social care within England?

When thinking about what drives you every day in your job, what keeps you motivated and passionate about your work what comes to mind? For 3000+ people at the CQC we end each day knowing that we have made a difference to the lives of those most in need in our communities. We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and encourage care services to improve. We are looking for people who are caring, demonstrate integrity and work well as part of a team to join with us and share in this sense of achievement. If you would like to help us make a positive impact to health and social care within England, then read on.

Why this could be a great role for you....

You will lead a team of motivated analysts to develop a portfolio of routine insight about the quality and safety of services that CQC regulates. You are an experienced analytical leader, with a passion for how data can be used to inform decision making. Alongside an interest in analysing health and social care data, you are confident in managing relationships at all levels, and understand the importance of clear communication. You'll be comfortable managing competing priorities and balancing the routine with developmental activities and can be flexible when requirements change.

You will have experience leading and developing analytical colleagues. Our Principal Analysts contribute to cross CQC initiatives as well as leading their own portfolios of work. Some of these initiatives will allow you to lead quite technical or specialist areas of CQC's work.

What we can offer you...

Your health and wellbeing are important to us and are supported through generous annual leave (starting at 27 days and rising with service to 32.5 days, plus 8 Bank Holidays), a cycle to work scheme, discounted gym vouchers and access to a free employee assistance service 24 hours a day. We also understand the importance of financial health and offer membership of the NHS pension scheme, contributing about 14% of basic salary. You will also be able to access discounts to supermarkets, high street stores, electronics, fleet cars, plus we also have an internal reward scheme which could see you earn yourself a voucher or two! All of our Homeworkers are also kitted out with everything they need to comfortably work from home.

We want to support you to succeed and be your very best, with opportunities for training and development along with the support of experienced managers and mentors.

We want to make working for CQC a great experience for everyone, and to role model a diverse and representative culture. To support an inclusive environment where colleagues feel empowered to bring their whole self to work, we support a variety of staff networks, including the Race Equality Network, LGBT+ Equality Network, Carers Equality Network, Disability Equality Network and Gender Equality network.

What you will bring...

The purpose of this role is to lead the development and delivery of a portfolio of Analytical Content covering acute, community and ambulance secondary health services.

The Analytical Content teams at CQC are responsible for acquiring and analysing datasets about the quality of care. The teams lead on the development and maintenance of a suite of indicators, a set of risk models and other routine analytic outputs that can be derived from the datasets available.

You will join us as a confident analyst, with proven experience in leading and developing analytics teams. You will be excited by the opportunities to enhance analytic content for acute, community and ambulance services that can help CQC deliver its purpose.

You will be responsible for setting the strategy and plan for the portfolio of content. You will work with a range of internal and external stakeholders to do this, and will be skilled at developing long standing, collaborative relationships.

Please ensure that you use the Additional Information section of the application form to provide a Supporting Statement demonstrating your transferable skills and experience, and how they relate to this role.
