Senior Data & Infrastructure Consultant (Digital Advisory) Job Description What if you could do the kind of work the world needs? At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you. A little more about your role Join our growing Digital team and help shape modern, data driven platforms across the built environment. As a Senior Data & Digital Platform Engineer, you'll blend hands on data engineering with platform level thinking, from architecture and governance to high level design and cross programme alignment. You'll work closely with our Lead Data Architect to design and deliver secure, scalable Azure data platforms. One day you may turn an outline architecture into a practical implementation plan; the next you'll be building ingestion and modelling layers, defining data standards, or helping multiple programmes align to a shared blueprint. If you enjoy translating strong architecture into reliable, production ready solutions and you're motivated by shaping how data is designed, governed and used across sectors this role is for you. You'll work on impactful projects in transport, energy, water, local government, healthcare and more, with the development opportunities, support and professional growth you'd expect from a collaborative and inclusive WSP team. Platform Architecture & High Level Design Contribute to platform and data architecture - covering system context, integration patterns, data domain modelling, security, and operational non functionalals. Produce high level designs (HLDs) and option assessments that balance cost, capability, time to value and risk. Translate HLDs into implementable designs and lead technical decision making through delivery. Governance & Data Strategy Define and enforce data standards, metadata, lineage and quality controls that scale across programmes. Establish governance processes (design reviews, approvals, change control) and embed them with delivery teams. Partner with product/PMO to align data strategy with business outcomes (analytics, regulatory, and operational needs). Identify reusable patterns and drive consistency across parallel projects. Facilitate architecture forums, write playbooks/patterns, and coach teams so that architecture intent survives delivery. Influence roadmaps-highlighting dependencies, risks and opportunities across the portfolio. Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT on Azure (e.g., ADF, Databricks/PySpark or equivalent), applying CI/CD and IaC principles. Model data for analytics (star schemas/Dimensional modelling) and operational data stores; optimise Azure SQL/Synapse performance. Enable and govern Power BI models and paginated reporting: semantic models, DAX optimisation, refresh and workspace governance. What we will be looking for you to demonstrate Senior level experience designing and delivering Azure data platforms (e.g., Data Lake/Synapse/ADF/Databricks/Azure SQL, networking, identity, monitoring). Strong SQL and data modelling; proven track record building production grade pipelines and data products. Demonstrable contribution to HLDs, architecture patterns, governance frameworks and cross team standards. Solid grasp of security, privacy, cost management and observability for data platforms. Excellent communication-able to work directly with clients, PMs, and multi disciplinary teams, turning needs into clear designs and backlog items. Don't quite meet all the criteria? Apply, and we can see how your experience aligns to this role and other opportunities within the team. Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all. Join our close knit community of talented individuals who share your passion for making a positive impact.

Go back Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Consultant Psychiatrist Acute Female Ward The closing date is 02 March 2026 Following a review of workload and processes across the inpatient pathway, 3 additional posts have been created across the whole acute IP service in LYPFT, where each ward will be staffed by a fulltime Consultant Psychiatrist and either a (Multi-Professional Approved Clinician MPAC eg Nurse Consultant, or by a less than full time Consultant Psychiatrist. The successful applicant will provide additional medical and clinical leadership to the acute inpatient service across the Becklin and the Newsam centres. The bed base will be shared proportionately between the two Consultants in order that the fulltime post holder does not hold responsibility for in excess of 16 beds at any one time (except for short periods when providing cover). Ward 5 (a female acute ward) already works within a similar model where there are two Approved Clinicians - a fulltime Consultant Psychiatrist and a MPAC. Main duties of the job Each acute ward accepts admissions from all over Leeds. It is likely that bed occupancy will be above 90% at all times and that the majority will be detained. Though co-morbid substance misuse is common in the inpatient group, as is personality disorder, the primary reason for admission is relapse of psychotic illness or mood disorder. The Consultant Psychiatrist will be responsible for their bed base, providing clinical expertise into the assessment and management of this acutely unwell group. Each working day starts with the PIPA report out meeting at 9am. This is a rapid, structured, responsive and MDT review of all the patients to establish tasks for the day. It is anticipated that one of the advantages of this model will be to not only reduce workload, but to share some of the risk and complexity by using each other's expertise and opinion in the most complex scenarios. An important clinical and financial priority of the acute inpatient service line is to minimise out of area admissions, and to ensure that the population of Leeds is able to access acute mental healthcare locally. Sound and timely clinical decision making within the MDT setting is expected of the Consultant Psychiatrist and effective liaison is an important part of the role. About us The Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) is the main provider of Mental Health and Learning Disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist inpatient services in York and some highly specialised services across the country. As a teaching trust with strong links to local universities, we are a centre of excellence for teaching, research and development.

Time is set aside in the job plan to join the local clinical governance meeting for the ward (Clinical Improvement Forum) and for the Acute Senior Leadership Meeting and Unified Clinical Governance.
