This role will play a leading part in helping develop our approach to assessing the value and impact of the programmes we deliver to improve the health of the people in Wales. You will undertake a variety of different tasks – a mixture of cost calculation and comparison; identifying and measuring the outcomes relevant to each programme; and supporting policy and service managers to understand how to drive improvements in population health, service efficiency and effectiveness.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
- Providing analysis, expert financial advice and critical challenge to support business case development and review
- Compiling and submitting financial and activity data to Welsh Government and others through the Welsh Costing Returns process
- Supporting the development of the PHW approach to maximising value, including detailed reviews of individual programmes, liaising with service and policy leads within and outside PHW
- Undertaking internal and external benchmarking exercises, and supporting a culture of continuous improvement through comparative data exercises and variation analysis
- Supporting the wider PHW finance team, including helping to shape financial strategies, through undertaking costing, activity and other related analysis
To do this to a high standard, you will be expected to have significant expertise and experience in data analysis, financial interpretation and being able to help stakeholders understand what are often complex concepts. Whilst detailed knowledge of Public Health Wales is not a pre-requisite, understanding of the Welsh NHS and its relationship with other public bodies and the wider context within which the NHS sits is.
Public Health Wales is just starting the process of assessing the relative value of its programmes, so you will be able to shape how this work is carried out and bring your own ideas on how to improve value.
