About The Role
This is a Fixed Term position until December 2025, working full-time.
The SAIL Databank is a world-class facility for the robust secure storage and use of anonymised person-based data for research to improve health, well-being and services. Its databank of anonymised data about the population of Wales is internationally recognised. Backed and endorsed by the Government, the SAIL Databank receives core funding from the Welsh Government’s Health and Care Research Wales.
Billions of anonymised, person-based records are held in the SAIL Databank and, subject to safeguards and approvals, these can be linked together to address important research questions.
Whilst the data held within SAIL already makes it a unique and world leading resource, the requirements of the research community to increase our data holdings constantly grow and change. It is essential that SAIL continues to expand its data holdings to meet these increasing and changing needs.
This post work with the Data Acquisition team to facilitate the sharing of new data, to work liaise with existing data providers to seek relevant approvals for use of their data and maintain up to date information on SAIL’s data assets.
