The public should expect decisions around their health to be based on the best insights derivable from the data they give to us - that requires data scientists!
The Data Science hub are raising capability with the ingredients that allow great data science to happen everywhere in DHSC; Skills & Talent, Community & Culture, Leadership, Platform, Tools and Data. We work across the department to deliver innovative data science projects and are making AI work for DHSC with our Advanced Analytics programme.
To achieve this, we:
- Deliver innovative data science products leveraging emerging technologies such as Generative AI.
- Productionise AI applications through our Advanced Analytics programme
- set strategic direction for data science in DHSC.
- Are a friendly and accessible central resource of technical expertise
- Bring in talented data scientists to DHSC and support them via a vibrant community and L&D offer
- Foster relationships with data scientists across the health and social care sector, government, and industry.
- Act as ambassadors for data science with all our colleagues.
- Implement the government’s Reproducible Analytical Pipelines strategy.
- Collaborate with academia and partners across government and the health sector
Our team serves as the central hub for data science, giving us access to an incredible breadth of projects. Recent work has utilised LLMs, machine learning classifiers, geospatial routing analysis, interactive data visualisations and natural language processing. We have applied these to topics as varied as dentistry, adult social care, mental health, and NHS performance, as well as focussing on how emerging AI tools can increase departmental efficiency.
We also serve as the professional anchor for data science, organising community events, providing learning and development opportunities, setting strategy for data science, and being visible as ambassadors for our work and the data science community.
We are looking to hire a principal data scientist at Grade 7 in the Data Science Hub. Principal data scientists are technical leaders with experience delivering complex projects individually and through a team.
You will take on responsibility for leading on a particular strand of data science as the department’s go-to person (e.g. for NLP or Geospatial work), but as we matrix-manage our delivery you can expect to contribute to a very wide range of projects outside of the topic you “own”. While the role comes with leadership and management elements, you can expect to spend a significant amount of your time coding and developing yourself technically. You will set out workplans for yourself and others and contribute to work prioritisation.
Our team has a strong focus on building capability in others and so you will build a large network of data scientists as we engage with the community. The role comes with line management responsibility for 1-3 data scientists.
