Data Systems Manager

Our Data Systems Manager will lead and drive our work in developing the technical and data architecture and integration platform for our data warehouse.  This is a senior role that includes our technical strategy as well as our data capture systems, but like all our senior roles, it is still very hands-on. No two days will be the same in this varied role covering our data warehousing techniques (such as ETL, database design, data cleansing, data quality control, role based access control) and languages and tools focused on data management and analysis (such as SQL and stored procedures, C#, MySQL, SQLServer).

You will enjoy solving challenging data and technical problems to deliver high quality work to fixed deadlines. You will feel comfortable working both independently and in guiding team members, communicating clearly and efficiently in a fast-paced and developing environment. Ideally, you will have come from the healthcare or pharmaceutical industry, or have a strong understanding of health data management.

About us

We are a small organisation with a big reach.  We work closely with our three parent organisations: Crohn’s & Colitis UK, the British Society of Gastroenterology and the Royal College of Physicians.  We work directly with hospitals, doctors and nurses across the UK; with drug studies, with the NHS, as well as with key Universities in the fields of biostatistics and data analytics. 

There are approx. 500,000 people in the UK with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.  We collect and analyse data from people with IBD nationally and are leaders in the fast-moving and exciting area of IBD health data. Our goal is to improve understanding of the care of people with IBD and their treatments and to facilitate research. These are lifelong diseases which can be debilitating, difficult to manage and are still not well understood.

By joining us you will become part of a dynamic and close team of people working to make a difference to the lives of people affected by inflammatory bowel disease.  We're committed to ensuring a positive, invigorating and fun working culture and a home working – life balance approach to work, including hybrid working and flexible hours. Our staff have been working primarily at home during the pandemic, and we are looking to make hybrid working the standard.  We also know that it is important to come together as an organisation, and we are fortunate to be able to meet regularly at our associated organisations which are based at Regent’s Park in London. Our main office is at Epsom, about 30mins by train from London.

The work we do is hard work but deeply rewarding.  Above all this is for people who want a job that is far more than ‘just a job’.  Working for the IBD Registry team means you can make a real difference to the lives of people with inflammatory bowel disease.
