Senior Metadata Knowledge Manager

at  NHS England

The NHS Standards Directory website https://standards.nhs.uk enables the discovery of relevant standards for users, which makes it easier to find and understand standards used and required by the NHS and adult social care system.
Joining a small user centred design team with ambitions to grow, you will have the opportunity to innovate, learn and demonstrate your skills in an area that is modernising to join up data with the best of practice in the NHS and social care.
We are looking for a candidate to continue to build the knowledge and information metadata model that will summarise standards, such as highlighting the benefits and impacts on the health and social care systems. Using the best of practice and standards around metadata, designing the knowledge model will come with the responsibility of quality monitoring and overseeing the population of data from numerous stakeholders. This will include governance, research, training and the use of imports. Design and development of a taxonomy leading to an ontology will help to ensure we can provide views and answers for our users, in the language they are used to.
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.
Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
Delivering value for money.
