Senior Data Engineer

Our vision is to create the world’s leading civic data environment, making health-related data work for the people in Liverpool City Region (LCR) while fuelling innovations of international importance. Based on a collaborative, open approach to governance the co-operative will support organisations to improve the lives of LCR residents while driving economic growth in health tech and digital sectors in the region.

This LCR Civic Data Cooperative (CDC) seeks not only to develop a new data resource but a new type of environment with transparent governance that reflects the legal and ethical obligations to enable linkage of civic health data from multiple sources. This will give a bigger picture of health and wellbeing across LCR, while preserving residents’ privacy and respecting their preferences for data uses.

The CDC is looking to appoint a Senior Data Engineer focussed on delivering the technical environment within CDC to enable the data capture and linkage required for the Children Growing up in Liverpool (C-GULL) programme.

The ideal candidate will:

• Be highly organised and structured with the ability to create solutions to complex problems
• Understand the challenges of data management and digital innovation within health, especially in the context of NHS and research across complex systems
• Work collaboratively and inclusively to build systems that work across boundaries, with other delivery partners
• Understand the need for openness and transparency in the field of health innovation and have experience with open-source principles and development
• Be driven by the desire to improve health outcomes
• Understand the need for a Team Science approach to impactful delivery

The role holder will work to support digital health innovation, as well as develop new and emerging priority areas, through appropriate project management techniques with an emphasis on agile. The post is available until 31 March 2025.
