• Develop and validate predictive models to support early intervention, forecast demand, and identify what works.
• Act as a data lead to support major transformation work, such as the new Family Help model.
• Engage with senior stakeholders to gather requirements, present findings, and provide actionable insights.
• Serve as an internal consultant, using data to help leaders ask the right questions and inform strategic practice.
