The NDG advises the health and adult social care system in England to help ensure that people's confidential information is kept safe and used appropriately. The Office of the National Data Guardian (ONDG) is hosted by NHS England in the PTT sub-directorate and supports the NDG in achieving her vision and mission.
The Privacy, Transparency & Trust (PTT) Sub-directorate is a sub-directorate of the Delivery Directorate. The mission of the PTT Sub-directorate is to enable NHS England to drive innovation and improve lives through greater use of data and technology and to be a well-run organisation.
We are looking for a forward-thinking individual with good delivery, project management and business operation skills to join the small friendly team (ONDG) that supports the NDG for Health and Social Care.
While the postholder will be an NHS England employee, an agreement is in place between NHS England and the National Data Guardian (NDG) which outlines that the NDG has operational independence. As such, you will sit within the Privacy, Transparency, and Trust sub directorate structure but will be operationally accountable to the NDG.
You will help ensure that the NDG serves the interests of the public by advising the health and care system on how data can be used in a way that supports individual care, benefits the public more broadly while also protecting people’s trust in a confidential health and care system.
The main responsibilities of this role will be delivery of the UKCGC secretariat, supporting the UKCGC to create resources for Caldicott Guardians (CGs) across the UK to support confident and consistent decision making in line with the Caldicott Principles. Providing support to further develop the reach and engagement the UKCGC has with CG’s.
