4. Supporting consultation, engagement, and user research activities, including survey design, data collection, and analysis of responses.

The workload is diverse, offering opportunities to collaborate across the organization on current issues. The service has been involved in reporting for COVID-19, supporting the Levelling Up agenda, addressing the cost-of-living crisis, handling Homes for Ukraine data, and providing evidence for economic recovery strategies.

You will have access to necessary technology and datasets, including Microsoft tools and subscription datasets, to perform your role effectively. Training and development are encouraged and provided as needed.

Flexible working arrangements are available, including options for working at our reconfigured offices at Shire Hall in Warwick, which support both face-to-face and virtual collaboration.
