Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

The Organisational Development, Strategy and Governance Team sits within the Neighbourhood Services Directorate, overseeing performance management, service planning, communications, Business Continuity, and risk.

We need high-quality performance management information to provide effective business intelligence to inform our decisions and evidence how we are supporting the delivery of the Council Plan. To do this, we are looking for someone with experience in using and creating performance dashboards on PowerBi to develop their use across the Directorate.

The role will also include providing reliable and timely data and analysis to support the Neighbourhood Services directorate and to support specific data analysis tasks and projects as identified by Neighbourhood Services.

We are looking for someone who adopts a proactive and forward-thinking approach, has excellent analytical and data skills, and can present performance information in an innovative and creative way.

We are investing in our workforce and promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity, and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly among Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled, and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities we serve. We also support staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us, and we welcome your application.
