Job description

If you’re the kind of person who wants their analysis to go somewhere, to shape decisions, drive performance, and spark real change, this might be just the role for you.

I am working with a Housing Associations to recruit for a Data Analyst who’s not only technically sharp, but also curious, collaborative, and keen to help people across the business make better, more informed decisions. You’ll be joining an organisation that values data as a genuine asset, not just a tick-box exercise. Your work will directly influence everything from operational improvements to strategic planning.

You’ll be part of the Organisational Development team, reporting into a supportive Business Intelligence Manager, and working across the entire business. This isn’t a back-office, report-only type of role. You’ll be building dashboards, creating data packs, leading benchmarking, owning data returns, and working closely with internal teams to shape performance measures that actually matter. And because you’re trusted as an expert, you’ll also have space to challenge, guide, and propose new ways of doing things.

You’ll get to work with tools like SQL, Excel, Crystal Reports, and VBA to pull and shape data – but more importantly, you’ll help the organisation understand what that data means. Capability charts, performance insights, quality checks, and system improvements are all in your toolkit. You'll even lead workshops and occasionally step in for your manager, so your voice really will be heard.

If you love the idea of data being used to solve real problems, and you enjoy building relationships as much as building reports, you’ll fit right in here.

What you’ll need:

• Experience working with large datasets and relational databases
• Comfortable with tools like SQL, Excel, VBA, and ideally Crystal Reports or Business Objects
• Confident analysing performance, producing dashboards, and creating insight that people can act on
• Ability to influence and communicate clearly across all levels of the business
• A proactive mindset, someone who sees the story behind the numbers and wants to tell it

What’s in it for you?

• A role where your work actually drives decisions, not just another report
• Space to improve systems, automate processes, and bring your ideas to the table
• A collaborative, down-to-earth culture that values insight and continuous improvement
• A business that’s big enough to be ambitious, but small enough that your impact will be seen

This is a flexible hybrid role with one day a week onsite in the office.

The salary is £38,000 with some great benefits.
