There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.
We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.
As our Associate Director of Insights and Data Analytics, you will be responsible for providing strategic leadership and direction to the RCN on insights and data analytics as the RCN grows the use of data in key decision making to achieve strategic priorities.
Every day will be filled with possibilities and you will have overall responsibility for leading the development and delivery of the RCN data and analytics strategy and growing and enhancing the data and analytics function, which will enable the RCN to collect, analyse and interpret data and make key business decisions.
As Associate Director of Insights and Data Analytics, you will inherit an existing data & analytics department which has experienced significant short term expansion and which is working to a temporary structure, so you will need to commence by building foundations within the department, establishing a clear structure with clear ways of working and creating a team culture and road map for development.
As Associate Director of Insights & Data Analytics, you will have leadership experience at senior level with proven ability to lead and manage in a matrix structure.
You will also have experience of leading and building a data and analytics department from foundations through to a clear department structure and ways of working. Finally, you will have experience of creating, developing, leading and delivering a data and analytics strategy as well as experience of developing and managing a digital transformation programme.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
