Data consultants with a penchant for blue lights wanted

Do you thrive at turning data into practical reality and would you like to help make a difference? Then apply for the job as a data consultant in Finance, Data & Projects at the Prehospital Service in Region Østdanmark - Ballerup

Are you joining the team?

We are expanding the data section and must at the same time say goodbye to a good colleague. The Prehospital Service is therefore seeking two data consultants – one in Ballerup and one in Næstved – who will help ensure that the Prehospital Service translates data into developing and improving services for citizens.

Can you work with analytical data in large data sets, and are you ready to communicate the results to colleagues and management, both orally and through various tools? If yes, you are exactly who we are looking for. We can offer a workday with great responsibility and flexibility – and the best colleagues.

We have two positions to fill – one in Næstved and one in Ballerup. Your application can be aimed at one of the positions or both.

Data Consultant

As a data consultant in the Prehospital Service you will have access to a unique data foundation about the prehospital effort. You will work with data from 1-1-2 calls, ambulance runs, emergency medical vehicles, patient transports, on-call doctors and other parts of the acute health care effort. Every day thousands of data points are created about citizen contacts, dispatches, response times, patient pathways, driving patterns and resource use. Data is used for everything from daily operational control and capacity planning to quality development, research and strategic decisions.

Your tasks will be diverse within the data area, and with us you will have the opportunity to make a difference where it really matters, both through your data expertise and your contribution to stable and professional

operational and management information.

You will extract knowledge from the large data sets that the Prehospital Service holds. Data is currently available on the two existing organization’s data platforms, i.e. Prehospital Center in Næstved, Region Zealand, and the Acute Service in Ballerup, Capital Region. You will help transition from the regions' current data platforms to a new shared solution in Region Østdanmark.

Among other things you will have the opportunity to work with

• Programming in SAS, SQL, Python or DAX
• Cleaning, handling and validating data and ensuring data quality
• Development and maintenance of operational and management information in BI tools such as Power BI or SAS Visual Analytics
• Translating complex data into easy-to-understand analyses and decision bases for everything from operations management and leadership to public records, political inquiries and press inquiries
• Collaboration with operations units such as the AMK-Dispatch Center and 1813/1818, other staffs and IT to translate data from the digital systems supporting the prehospital effort into knowledge and decision support
• Automation of operational tasks with e.g. RPA or solutions from Microsoft Power Platform to create stable and efficient workflows
• Microsoft Azure and related tools such as Databricks, Data Factory and GitHub

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who has an interest in data, analytics and automation and is motivated by creating insights that can support decisions and development. You may have several years of experience with data work, but you can also be a recent graduate with a desire to learn. It is an advantage if you have knowledge of the health sector and very much so of the prehospital area.

For both positions we expect that you as a starting point have a relevant education. This could for example be a master's degree in statistics, data science, economics, social sciences or public health, but you may also have another background if you have relevant practical experience.

For both positions we expect that you

• Can translate data into understandable insights and decision bases and communicate both what the data shows and the limitations of the data basis
• Work in a structured way with a focus on data quality and have the courage to work with large data sets and complex data contexts
• Thrive in cross-functional collaboration across operations, staffs and IT and can communicate with different professional disciplines
• Have experience with or interest in tools such as SAS, SQL, Python, Power BI or Azure and a desire to learn new technologies
• Have an eye for how data, digitalization and automation can create value and support the business
• Are proactive, take responsibility for following up tasks to the finish and thrive with varying tasks and sometimes tight deadlines
• Contribute with good camaraderie and a positive and welcoming attitude

Who are we?

The staff consists of an economics section, a data section, a project section and an overall staff chief. The staff focuses on a high professional environment, sparring and integrity.

You will become a central part of a community with skilled, engaged colleagues who all share a passion for developing and rethinking the health sector. In other words, you will not get bored – and you will also have a unique opportunity to help make a concrete difference for the citizens in the region.

We are an inclusive workplace, where we take into account that work life and family life must balance. And we place a strong emphasis on a positive, humorous and informal tone – because it's important to laugh with your colleagues every day.
