Rapid hires for new DevOp teams in Big Data environment for NHS

Genomics England (“GEL”) is a wholly owned entity of The Department of Health & Social Care, set up to deliver the 100,000 Genomes Project, a flagship NHS project to sequence 100,000 whole genomes from NHS Patients with rare diseases, plus their families, as well as patients with common cancers, In addition, GEL is tasked with deliverying the NHS's new groundbreaking Genomic Medical Service.

Background:

Genomics England (“GEL”) is a wholly owned entity of The Department of Health & Social Care, set up to deliver the 100,000 Genomes Project, a flagship NHS project to sequence 100,000 whole genomes from NHS Patients with rare diseases, plus their families, as well as patients with common cancers.

Sequencing such large numbers of genomes generates enormous amounts of data. Genomics England is thus a big data driven organisation operating at scale with over 30PB of storage and 4000 compute cores collocated across physical data centres and public cloud.

Challenge:

Genomics England had significant technology delivery challenges as a result of a rapid increase in the speed and volume of data, placing an increasing demand for compute resources.

This would require a re-think in delivery strategy across all areas of the IT function and require additional resources including people, process and technology, including a much-expanded IT team; the introduction of a DevOps culture and new hybrid Datacentre solution.

Solution:

We work closely with GEL’s HR and IT teams to best understand not only the right skill fit, but crucially the right cultural fit for working within GEL’s fast paced and mission-critical IT environment.

Inspire People have introduced a number of professionals on a permanent and contract basis to build their DevOps capability and support the management and delivery of GEL’s IT infrastructure projects, introducing highly skilled DevOps Engineers, Architects and Infrastructure Project Managers.

Feedback:

"Inspire People were involved during a period of significant headcount increase and supported us for both contractor and permanent hires and were quick to grasp our requirements and make sure candidates were properly vetted before submitting CVs for review. This greatly helped us to fill vacant posts and minimise the amount of time to review and interview candidates because of the quality filter Inspire People applied"

Adam Batchat, Programme Director
