About the role

Do you enjoy turning complex data into something people can understand and use? Are you looking for a role where your analysis can help shape services and support better decisions?

We’re looking for a Data Analyst to join our Data Services team, providing high-quality analysis, reporting and data visualisation across the organisation. You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues from different services, helping them get more from their data and turning information into clear, meaningful insight.

It’s a great opportunity to work across a varied range of data and technology. You’ll contribute to the development of our modern data platform, support our use of Power BI and work with colleagues to introduce new data solutions and technologies. You’ll also support important areas of work such as the Supporting Families programme.

You’ll be joining a team where you can continue developing your technical skills while seeing the practical impact that good data and insight can have across our services.

This is a hybrid role and appointment will be subject to the outcome of a Standard Disclosure obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service.

For more information or to chat about this opportunity please contact Chris Stromberg

What will you be doing?

No two pieces of analysis are exactly the same. You could be working with colleagues to understand what they need from their data, preparing and cleansing information, creating a data model or developing a Power BI report that turns a complex set of information into a clear story. 

You’ll analyse research data and bring findings together, helping colleagues understand what the information is telling them. You’ll use different approaches to visualisation to communicate those findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

A key part of the role will be helping us make sure our data can be trusted. You’ll contribute to data governance, quality assurance, validation and data linkage, as well as supporting the collection, preparation and cleansing of data.

You’ll also contribute to the development and implementation of Power BI across the organisation and work alongside other data professionals developing our modern data platform. Depending on the work, you could use technologies including SQL, T-SQL or PL/SQL, Azure Synapse Analytics, Microsoft SQL S
