Are you a skilled data analyst looking to make a meaningful impact in Adult Social Care?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing competing priorities while supporting others? If you’re highly organised with strong communication and interpersonal skills, the Market Intelligence Team would love to hear from you.
As a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst
You will play a key role in strengthening the Council’s understanding of the independent care market across East Sussex. Through insightful analysis and clear reporting, you will turn complex data into actionable intelligence that supports better decision-making.
In this newly created role, you will bring together, interpret and communicate a wide range of complex datasets relating to the independent care sector and Supply Management activity. You will add real value by identifying trends, generating meaningful insights, and helping shape service improvements.
You will also coordinate the time-critical monitoring of homecare call data, working closely with providers to reconcile discrepancies and improve data accuracy. By building strong relationships and using your influencing skills, you will support providers in driving consistent, long-term improvements in data quality and reporting behaviour.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Have knowledge and experience of using Excel for data manipulation and analysis
- Are able to identify and resolve data quality issues
- Have excellent data visualisation and report building skills
- Are able to communicate effectively with a range of people in a clear, concise and accurate manner
- Are a supportive and positive team player
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
