The Data, Analysis and Insight team plays a pivotal role in supporting a wide range of senior leaders across the business through reporting, analysis and insights. Our work supports the organisation's overall strategy and empowers senior leaders to make strategic, data-driven business decisions. In December 2021 we published our Data Strategy, setting out HMCTS's commitment to becoming a data-driven organisation. This role will be based in our Data Management and Engineering team responsible for holding, curating, and protecting our data to drive value for our organisation both now and into the future. Your role as the Senior Data Engineer encompasses several key aspects (but not limited to):

• Collaborate effectively with the operational colleagues across the organisation, internal project teams and other stakeholders to gather, refine and deliver requirements to meet business needs.
• Act as technical lead for one or more HMCTS jurisdictions and overall data management framework.
• Embed improved ways of working with data across the wider team, including automation of manual tasks and data assurance.

Training and development

You will have access to a wide range of tools to continually develop and enhance your Data skills, such as access to Microsoft Azure training courses via our partnership with Microsoft, online training such as DataCamp or Pluralsight, webinars, courses, one-to-one coaching and access to a large peer-support network.
