About the Analysis Directorate:

We create a culture in which people are empowered with the data and information to make excellent decisions; using cutting edge tools, techniques and collaboration; putting evidence at the heart of the justice system.
We are a multi-disciplinary team of around 650 staff that sits at the heart of the Ministry of Justice providing analytical support across a diverse and exciting agenda.
What You’ll Do:
HEO Role in Reducing Reoffending Statistics team:
The Reducing Reoffending Statistics team is responsible for processing, analysing, and publishing data on our key reoffending datasets, as well as offering analytical insight to Ministers, policy colleagues and external customers.
Reducing reoffending is a strategic priority for the Ministry of Justice, and the statistics that analysts in this team produce are an essential part of this programme.
You will work to produce the Proven Reoffending Quarterly Statistics publication, which is an accredited National Statistics publication. The reoffending measure is technically complex, relying on linking numerous data sources and coding in SQL and R.
Due to the high-profile nature of the topic area, the team also receives regular Parliamentary Questions (PQ) and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests whilst maintaining rigorous data assurance processes, so strong communication skills are required, along with the ability to prioritise multiple workstreams.
Who You Are:
The following experience and skills will be required:
* Strong analytical ability, in particular robust data skills, including undertaking quantitative data analysis and presenting data effectively.
* Good communication and inter-personal skills, with the ability to explain complex data and analytical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
* A self-starter with strong ability to plan and prioritise your own work with challenging and competing deadlines, whilst maintaining high-quality statistical outputs.
* Experience of working with others to deliver analysis.
* Proficiency with both Excel and R programming language.
The following experience and skills are desirable:
* Experience of working with SQL, Git and PowerBI, but this is not essential as training can be provided.
* Experience of working with government data, and/or with official statistics in accordance with the Code of Practice for Statistics.

* Communicating and Influencing
