An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Public Health Intelligence Team at Devon County Council as a Public Health Apprentice Data Technician.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in data, technology and how information can be used to improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities across Devon. You will join a friendly and supportive team while working towards a Level 3 Data Technician Apprenticeship.

Working alongside experienced Public Health Intelligence analysts, you will gain practical experience of collecting, managing, analysing and presenting data. You will support a range of projects covering health, public health, communities and care, helping us turn data into useful information that supports evidence-based decision-making.

As your skills develop, you will have opportunities to:

• collect, clean, manage and quality-assure data;
• work with databases and undertake data queries and analysis;
• help produce reports, dashboards and other intelligence products;
• develop your skills using tools such as Excel and Power BI;
• support the development and improvement of data flows and data management processes;
• contribute to Public Health Intelligence projects and the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment;
• help colleagues access and make effective use of data and intelligence; and
• learn from experienced analysts while developing your technical, analytical and communication skills.

You don’t need to already be an expert in public health or data analysis. We are looking for someone with an interest in data and technology who is curious, enthusiastic, willing to learn and able to work effectively as part of a team.

This apprenticeship provides an excellent opportunity to gain a recognised qualification alongside valuable practical experience in a professional analytical environment, while contributing to work that helps improve health and reduce inequalities across Devon.

If you enjoy working with data, solving problems and learning new technical skills, we’d love to hear from you.
