About you
You dont need to know every technology we use. Were looking for someone with a strong understanding of working with data and demonstrable knowledge of one or more of the technical areas relevant to the role, such as Power BI, SQL/T-SQL/PL/SQL, Azure Synapse Analytics, SQL Server Reporting Services or SQL Server Integration Services.
Youll enjoy solving problems and be curious about what sits behind the numbers. Just as importantly, youll be able to take what you find and communicate it clearly. Youll be comfortable working with technical colleagues as well as people who may have little experience of working with data.
Youll be able to manage competing demands, take responsibility for your work and use your own initiative. Were also looking for someone who wants to keep learning and developing their experience in new technical areas.
An understanding of data security, data protection and confidentiality is essential. Experience of working on small to medium-sized projects is also required, while previous experience of an IT environment, local government data, Early Help or Supporting Families would be useful.
Youll need two A levels, an HNC, HND, NVQ Level 4 or equivalent. A degree or equivalent professional qualification and relevant technical certification are desirable rather than essential.
Above all, were looking for someone who is interested in data, keen to develop and wants to use their skills to help people make better-informed decisions.
