Make a difference. Every role at CQC contributes to our mission. If you’re looking for a new role in Analysis that gives a true sense of meaning and purpose, then you’ve found it! As a Quantitative Analyst, you’ll help turn data into actionable insights that shape health and social care across England.

Picture this: Imagine joining a team where your analysis helps shape how health and care services are understood, improved and held to account. Your work will help bring people’s experiences to life through data, supporting decisions that make a real difference. As a Quantitative Analyst in Strategic Insight, you might get the chance to explore relationships between a range of quantitative data, helping us better understand the quality of care. You might also see some of your analysis published in our annual State of Care report or other independent voice publications.

The role: You’ll be key in helping us deliver our work. In this role, you’ll:

• Shape meaningful analysis: Work with colleagues and stakeholders to understand what insight is needed and design analysis that supports organisational priorities.
• Create clear actionable insights: Develop visualisations, reports and summaries that turn complex data into clear, actionable findings for a range of audiences.
• Support strong data practice: Help ensure data is collected, prepared and stored to high standards, promoting a positive data culture across CQC.

Show us: We’ll be looking for the following skills, knowledge and experience in your application form:

• Experience analysing quantitative data to produce clear findings, including preparing, cleaning and combining data from different sources.
• Experience delivering analytical insight through reports, dashboards or visualisations that explain findings in a simple and engaging way for different audiences.
• Experience working with others to deliver analysis, including gathering requirements, understanding stakeholder needs and contributing within multi-disciplinary teams.

To progress your application, you’ll need to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK. Without valid right to work you won’t be eligible for the role. We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role. Some roles may also be subject to a satisfactory DBS check.

The Benefits: We offer a wide range of benefits, including:

• Annual leave starting at 27 days per year, rising to 32.5 days with service, plus bank holidays (usually 8 days per year).
• Training and development opportunities.
• Wellbeing initiatives, such as gym discounts and meditation.
• NHS pension scheme, with around 14% employer contribution.
• Discount schemes (including eligibility for a Blue Light card, at a cost of £4.99 and valid for 2 years), reward vouchers, car leasing and more!

Equity for all: We know job descriptions can feel intimidating. Research shows they can cause some people to doubt whether they’re a good fit. This happens more often to people from underrepresented groups (e.g. ethnic minority backgrounds). If this role interests you, we encourage you to apply. Your unique perspective, skills, and experience could be exactly what we need. We want every candidate to feel supported and able to do their best. If you need adjustments to our process, we’ll work with you to remove any barriers.

Values and vision: We are guided by our core values, which shape our work and our culture. Excellence – being a high-performing organisation. Caring – treating everyone with dignity and respect. Integrity – doing the right thing. Teamwork – learning from each other to be the best we can. We are a disability confident employer and a carer confident employer.

A Note on AI: AI tools can be great for research and refining ideas, but we want to learn about you. If you use AI or Chatbots to help you with your application, keep these points in mind: AI can support research, structuring and refining your writing, but your application must reflect your real skills and experience. Spell-checking and condensing word counts are great ways to use AI effectively. Do not copy and paste AI generated answers. These will not help you stand out; remember we want to hear about your skills and experience. Providing false and insincere examples goes against our core values of honesty and integrity and may lead to your application being withdrawn or termination of your employment.
