Job Description

The Information Analyst role provides an excellent opportunity for anyone with an interest in data analysis and data-driven performance improvement in a public sector setting. Working as part of a small team, you will be responsible for extracting, analysing, and presenting data in relation to the work of the Aberdeenshire Council Housing department for colleagues within Housing and across the Council, as well as for external agencies and the public.

Previous experience in social research and/or knowledge of the Scottish social housing sector would be an advantage but is not essential. The Housing Information Team currently uses SAP Business Objects as its main data extraction and transformation tool: training will be provided as necessary, but previous experience with this program and/or knowledge of SQL would therefore be beneficial in this role. We are also increasingly making use of PowerBI for analysis and reporting, so we are keen to hear from applicants with experience of data transformation, analysis, and presentation in this package.

The work location for this role is flexible. The majority of the team work from home or from the Aberdeenshire Council office most convenient to them, and collaborate via Microsoft Teams. However, there will be a requirement to attend monthly in-person meetings, normally held in Aberdeen or Inverurie.

Fixed term for a period not exceeding 30 April 2027.

Requirements

This post has a minimum requirement of one reference, which must be your current or most recent employer.

Aberdeenshire Council appreciates the value of a diverse workforce. We adopt inclusive practices, transparent policies, and foster a culture built on mutual respect.
