This role offers the opportunity to be an integral part of leading and developing innovative solutions that will transform scientific research and healthcare delivery within the NHS.

The TVS SDE manages access to routinely collected health and care data and associated services for approved research and planning purposes.

Working with a high degree of independence, the successful candidate will take ownership of the delivery and continuous improvement of the access service, being accountable for activities from enquiry and triage through to review, decision tracking, fulfilment, onboarding, active use, and closure.

Reporting to the Programme Manager and accountable to the Senior Programme Manager, the post holder will take ownership of the day-to-day management and coordination of the access process for the TVS SDE. Working with a high degree of independence, they will ensure the access process operates seamlessly and aligns with national standards, organisational goals, and user needs. This includes ensuring requests to use data and services for approved research and planning purposes progress through the appropriate stages in a timely, consistent, and well-governed way.

They will work collaboratively and proactively across functional areas (commercial, service, technical, information governance, programme, and engagement), to ensure cohesive and effective service outcomes. The postholder will also lead and support the development of robust reporting systems that provide actionable insights and drive the continuous improvement of the service function.
