Are you someone who loves working with data? Do you enjoy developing charts, graphs, and visualisations? Can you summarise data to help find meaningful insights for different audiences? Are you comfortable working with large databases and datasets and do you have experience of extracting and manipulating data using SQL-based interrogation tools or similar?
We have an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced strategic team, focused on improving the lives of people in Cumberland. We offer excellent training and development opportunities alongside flexible working that allows you to maintain the right work-life balance while developing your career.
About the roles:
These roles offer the opportunity to work as a member of the Performance and Analysis Team to interpret and use performance information to help and influence senior management in a local authority and partnership context.
What we are looking for:
You will have excellent numerical and analytical skills together with demonstrable experience of statistical methodologies and data analysis techniques. You’ll have experience of extracting, manipulating, interpreting, and using performance information with an appreciation of a rapidly changing environment. The ability to interrogate large amounts of data and present data in an engaging and effective way are essential for this role, as well as experience of engaging effectively with stakeholders at all levels. The successful candidates need a flexible ‘can-do’ approach and an eye for detail and opportunities to develop products or processes.
The primary focus for one of the roles will be supporting our Children and Family Wellbeing Directorate. Previous experience in this field or within local government is highly desirable but not essential. Successful candidates can be supported to further develop their subject knowledge. The second role will focus more on supporting other areas of performance within the Council, although both roles may be required to support key areas when needed.
What we offer:
* Competitive rates of pay and annual pay increase*
* 25-31 days holiday each year plus bank holiday allowance plus option to purchase up to 2 weeks additional leave and spread the cost over 12 months
* Learning and development opportunities
* Flexible working arrangements including the ability to work from home
* Opportunity to join the Local Government Pension Scheme
* Money off your local gym
* Employee assistance programme and access to in-house Occupational Health service
