About the Role:

We are looking to add another permanent member to our Performance Team to lead on collecting and analysing Children Service's performance data. If your interests and/or experiences lie in handling data and statistical analysis, then this role may be for you.

You will support front line staff that work with some of our most vulnerable children and families, their managers, and senior officers, to ensure that performance and data is recognised as everyone's responsibility. With that in mind, you must be a confident performance professional, with a collaborative, open working style to ensure that the outstanding work of our frontline staff is reflected in our performance.

You will benefit from a varied and stimulating role that ranges from writing SQL reports, developing interactive and engaging Power BI reports, pulling together data and findings into written summary reports, leading on statutory returns, and becoming involved with the development and maintenance of tools used by local authorities across the country, such as School Census Returns, ChAT and the Children's Social Care Benchmarking Tool.

To be considered for interview your application will need to demonstrate that you are able to support and provide timely, accurate analysis and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative business intelligence necessary for the Directorate to make timely, relevant and strategic decisions for existing and future services and fully support national and local reporting requirements including the Department for Education, Ofsted Inspection regime and Safeguarding Boards.

Knowledge of Children Social Care, SEND or Education statutory collections and the Synergy and Mosaic Database system would be highly desirable.
