I'm hiring an Analytics Engineer on a 12‑month maternity cover FTC for a purpose‑driven digital health organisation.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role focused on owning the modelling layer of a modern data stack - ensuring critical pipelines continue to deliver as the business scales.


The company

A fast‑growing digital healthcare provider working with NHS trusts, insurers, and private healthcare organisations.

They're building a modern data platform to support clinical outcomes and operational performance, with a strong focus on"data for good" and real‑world impact.


The role

You'll step into a Senior Analytics Engineering seat, taking ownership of core dbt models and pipelines that underpin business‑critical reporting and billing processes.

This role is central to ensuring continuity - keeping momentum on existing builds while contributing to new modelling work.


What you'll be doing

  • Own and deliver in‑flight data projects (including billing automation pipelines)
  • Build and maintain dbt models (fact tables, dimensions, metric layers)
  • Design and enforce strong data modelling standards (star schema, grain, metadata discipline)
  • Review SQL and dbt work from analysts, supporting best practice and quality
  • Work closely with data engineering on pipeline workflows (bronze → silver → gold)
  • Ensure clean documentation and handover at the end of the contract

Tech stack

  • dbt (core focus)
  • SQL & Python
  • Databricks / modern lakehouse architecture
  • Power BI + semantic layer for reporting

What you bring

Must‑haves

  • Strong hands‑on dbt experience (modelling, testing, review)
  • Advanced SQL skills
  • Strong understanding of data modelling (star schema, grain, dimensions/facts)
  • Experience working in modern cloud data environments
  • Ability to review and improve other analysts' work

Nice to have

  • Databricks / lakehouse experience
  • Experience with finance / billing data
  • Experience in regulated environments (healthcare, finance, etc.)

What they're looking for

  • A confident, independent analytics engineer
  • Someone comfortable stepping into an existing setup and adding value quickly
  • Strong attention to quality, documentation, and best practice
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, low‑ego environment

Why this role

  • High ownership of a critical part of the data platform
  • Work on meaningful projects in a mission‑driven organisation
  • Modern tech stack with strong engineering practices
  • Fully remote, flexible working
  • Opportunity to leave a lasting impact on how the platform is built

Interview process

  • Initial conversation (technical + fit)
  • Short SQL/dbt test
  • Final technical + values interviews
