About The Role
This position involves providing administrative support to the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank, a globally leading repository of anonymised, individual-level data enabling large-scale health research. The SAIL Databank securely holds billions of records derived from various data sources, representing the population of Wales.
The role also supports the Information Governance Review Panel (IGRP), a body offering independent guidance and oversight of information governance practices within SAIL. The Panel evaluates all proposals to access SAIL data, ensuring compliance with public interest standards. Its members represent a broad range of organisations and sectors.
The successful applicant will manage the information governance review process for projects requesting SAIL data access, supply administrative support for the Panel’s activities, and oversee the SAIL user onboarding process, including account request processing.
