Job description

Overview

Prospective officers and staff must be held to a higher standard of behaviour and accountability than members of the public, and that therefore their right to privacy can be fettered in certain circumstances. This is to ensure that members of the police are fully aware and accountable for the unique powers entrusted to them and the standards of professional behaviour they swear to uphold.

The Performance team generates insights on the force's performance by building Qlik dashboards, analysing force data and providing information to support the force's governance and assurance processes.

The post-holder will use various analytical techniques to assess and interpret organisational and operational data, identifying trends or making recommendations for action. Performance Analysts will collaborate with other analysts in the Corporate Development team, as well as other functions, to ensure a holistic analytical service is provided to the business.

The Performance Analyst will work with Performance Support Officers to provide the Performance Manager with accurate, evidenced information that informs the Force position on its overall service delivery.

Together the team will monitor performance, flag up performance challenges and support business areas to produce materials required to inform governance discussions in order to improve performance or share good practice.
