Summary
We are seeking a talented and motivated data specialist to join our dynamic team. This position is pivotal in enhancing our ability to craft and develop insightful data visualisations that inform strategic decisions across our Trust. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to leverage business intelligence and implement engaging data visualisations that provide clear and actionable insights.
You will play a critical role in transforming how we leverage data to achieve strategic objectives. Your expertise in creating compelling visual narratives from complex data will be instrumental in empowering our team and driving the Trust forward.
Experience in the education sector is not essential, although strong skills in data management and data visualisation are vital.
Key Responsibilities:
● Design and Development: Create engaging and informative data visualisations
that simplify complex datasets for better understanding and decision-making.
● Data Management: Gather, clean, and consolidate data from various sources
into a central data resource, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and accessibility
across the trust.
● Collaboration: Work closely with the Trust Data Manager, Trust Leaders and
other key stakeholders to understand their needs and translate them into
effective visual solutions.
● Data Interpretation: Interpret data trends and patterns to support strategic
planning and operational improvements within the Trust.
● Technology Implementation: Utilise industry-standard tools and technology to
develop interactive dashboards and reports that drive informed decision-
making.
We are interested in hearing from people who:
● Are self-motivated, efficient, ambitious and highly organised.
● Are a proactive and creative thinker with the ability to generate new ideas.
● Have a commitment to supporting the work of passionate education
professionals.
Our Offer:
● Continuous Development: We value our people. Collegial working at all levels
is central to our culture. High quality induction training and ongoing
professional development support are guaranteed.
● Inclusivity: We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace
where everyone feels valued and respected.
● Innovation: We encourage creativity and innovation. We believe in the power
of teamwork and encourage open communication and idea-sharing.
● Work-Life Balance: We understand the importance of work-life balance and
offer flexible working and hybrid working arrangements to support our
employees’ well-being.
● Competitive Benefits Package: including local government pension scheme,
generous annual leave entitlement and other benefits culture of continuous
improvement across the trust. By shortening the timeframe between data
provision and decision-making, we aim to streamline processes and improve r
responsiveness.
To further enhance efficiency, we will explore opportunities for greater automation in data collection and analysis. Building organisational capacity for visualising, interpreting, and acting upon data meaningfully is a key priority. Through targeted training and guidance, we aim to strengthen understanding, data literacy, and a culture of curiosity that encourages staff to question, challenge, and explore data insights critically. By promoting broader access to data sources and carefully considering authorship and interaction at different levels, we will foster a self-serving, collaborative, data-informed culture that helps leaders and stakeholders hone in on the signal amidst all the noise and supports our wider mission to make a positive impact on the lives of all our young people.
