This is an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively with a wide range of partners including education, SEND, health, police, probation and the voluntary sector. You'll be responsible for analysing and interpreting complex data, quality assuring statutory returns, identifying trends and emerging risks, and producing impactful reports and presentations for senior leaders and partnership boards.

• Working with safeguarding, education and SEND partners to develop shared insight and improve outcomes.
• Keeping up to date with relevant legislation, policy and performance reporting requirements.
• Representing the Partnership at local and regional meetings.

We're looking for an experienced analyst with strong numerical and communication skills, a track record of turning data into meaningful insight, and an understanding of children's services, social care, education and SEND.

If you're passionate about making a difference through data and want to influence strategic decision-making in a forward-thinking partnership, we'd love to hear from you.
