Data Analyst

The Public Protection Division is undergoing an exciting transformation. We’ve recently upgraded from Idox Uniform to a modern, cloud-based platform – Idox Cloud – to enhance our service delivery.

However, the new system offers limited built-in reporting capabilities, and we need a skilled Data Analyst to help us unlock its full potential.

What you’ll do

• Design and deliver custom reports and interactive dashboards in Power BI, including KPI reporting.
• Extract, clean, and analyse datasets to uncover trends, patterns, and actionable insights.
• Collaborate with service managers to provide data-driven recommendations that improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
• Champion a data-driven culture, ensuring accurate and meaningful reporting across the division.
• Work with partners (e.g., police and internal council teams) to produce:
• Crime Needs Assessment Reports – statistical analysis of crime trends, risks, and community needs.
• Trend and Hotspot Analysis – identifying geographic and thematic patterns in crime data.
• Advise on system configuration improvements, particularly code lists.
• Recommend and implement enhancements to data collection processes.
• Train internal staff on dashboard usage and interpretation.
• Support data governance compliance, ensuring GDPR and local authority data-sharing protocols are met.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in data analysis, reporting, and visualisation (Power BI essential).
• Strong knowledge of SQL and data manipulation techniques.
• Ability to translate complex data into clear, practical insights.
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

Why join us?

• Be part of a team driving innovation in public protection services.
• Play a key role in shaping how data informs policy and service delivery.
• Enjoy a collaborative environment with hybrid working flexibility.
