Our approach is to work in partnership with service users, their families, carers and service providers to ensure that evidence-based, safe, high quality services are delivered. We are looking for data analysts who are aspirational for Walsall residents.

This post requires candidates who can produce high quality data, analysis and management information for quality assurance purposes with the skill to identify, analyse and address data quality issues. 

We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate this experience or uniqueness which will complement our existing workforce and meet the duties required within the job description.
