2-Year Fixed-Term Position

We have a vacancy for an experienced, motivated, and professional individual to join us at St Luke's Hospice Plymouth as a Data Engineer.

Imagine a role where your technical expertise directly impacts compassionate patient care. Our hospice is seeking a visionary Data Engineer to revolutionise how we understand and deliver healthcare services. Working part-time, based out of our Plymouth Hospice, you'll architect a sophisticated cloud-based solution that transforms complex data centred around clinical and operational datasets, into powerful, actionable insights.

This is not just another technology job – it's a chance to be at the heart of healthcare innovation. You'll design advanced ETL processes, ensure stringent data governance, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to develop data architectures that support the creation of predictive analytics models that inform critical decision-making.

We're looking for more than just a skilled technician; we need a passionate professional who understands that data can improve care and make every day the best day it can be. You'll be responsible for implementing robust data protection strategies, creating scalable data models, and championing the needs of hospice users. If you're ready to use your technical skills to make a meaningful difference, bringing innovation, empathy, and cutting-edge data capabilities to a not-for-profit healthcare setting, this role is your opportunity to redefine the intersection of technology and compassionate care

As the ideal candidate, you would need:

• BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or related field.
• Advanced Azure Cloud certification or associated training.
• Healthcare sector data experience
• Knowledge of palliative care and medical terminology

Hello and thank you for checking out our current vacancy.

It’s worth setting up a job alert or simply checking back in regularly because - as St Luke's continues to meet the demand of caring for more families - we're always evolving and new opportunities spring up, both clinical and non-clinical. One of them could be just what you're looking for!

We value all our people - not only our specialist doctors, nurses and social workers, but also our colleagues more behind the scenes, from our maintenance and catering staff to our fundraisers, administrators, educators and IT team. And that's just to name a few! It takes a vast variety of skills, experience and knowledge to keep our vital service running smoothly.

As an Employer of Choice, we offer our staff a wide range of benefits and rewards. Not only generous annual leave and pension schemes, but a fantastic health scheme to help towards the cost of eye tests, dental care and physiotherapy. In addition, this gives you access a GP, and counselling and practical information helplines, 24/7.

While working with our hospice is hugely rewarding, knowing you're helping us make such an important difference, we recognise it's work that can be challenging emotionally. That's why, when you join us, we'll be here to support you all the way.
