This is an exciting time to be part of our newly formed Design Practice which is driving the digital business consulting and transformation services we offer to new and existing clients. Our Analytics team sits within the UCD & Insights Capability, which consists of a number of specialisms including User Research, Content Design, Interaction & UX Design and Analytics. We primarily work in the public sector, supporting initiatives that improve society and the lives of citizens; with not-for-profit organisations, charities and social enterprises; and with some private-sector companies.

The key sectors we are working in at the moment include education, apprenticeships & skills development, social care, rehabilitation, housing and criminal justice, but we are always growing, developing and finding out about new things.

• Measuring what matters, not just what is measurable;
• Solving the right problem;
• Simple and explainable solutions;

• Developing insights and stories in partnership with stakeholders;
• Empowering our clients through training and improved data literacy;
• Collaboration with each other and our clients, constructive feedback and questions;

• Influence and inspire clients to take informed strategic decisions about their approach to analytics.
• Be an active member of the analytics community of practice.
• Depending on your skills and preferences, you might take on additional coaching and training responsibilities.

We will assess the following skills during the application process:

• SQL: You have used more advanced SQL for data analysis.

• Enabling data driven decision-making: You have a proven track record of breaking down barriers.
