Analyse and interpret data from a range of report formats, extracting key information relating to performance indicators (both quantitative and qualitative). Present this data to managers in clear, actionable formats to support service planning, performance management, and clinical supervision.

Develop and maintain effective business support systems and processes to assist the Mental Health Leads and senior clinicians in meeting Trust objectives. This includes creating robust mechanisms to monitor performance against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Proactively identify and address performance concerns, engaging directly with clinicians where required to highlight issues and request corrective action.
