This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3544 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2433 (Actuaries, economists and statisticians, Statistical analysis of cancer waiting times data could fit statistician role) or SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Technical analytical and systems work on InfoFlex data systems). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the central Corporate Cancer Services team.
The main duties are to provide detailed Cancer Waiting Times (CWT) pathway analysis, identifying and remedying any data anomalies (validation) in order to ensure Trust compliance with national targets. To investigate CWT breaches and suggest improvements to pathways and to manage the Trust CWT escalation process.
The post-holder will gain significant experience in the central management of cancer waiting times. This is an opportunity to build on existing cancer waiting times knowledge and expand your technical and analytical skills.
You will join a small corporate team that has contact with a wide range of cancer services within the trust as well as building relationships with referring organisations within the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Cancer Alliance.
