Workforce Information & Analytics Lead
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Workforce Information & Analytics Lead to lead and develop our Workforce Information & Analytics service.
This is not simply a reporting or dashboard-development role. We are looking for someone who understands workforce data and can take information from source to insight – ensuring it is accurately extracted, transformed and validated, then using it to identify trends, risks and opportunities and translate these into meaningful intelligence and recommendations.
You will lead the Trust’s workforce information and analytics provision, including workforce reporting, workforce planning, forecasting and modelling, establishment analysis, data quality and the continued development of interactive and self-service reporting.
You will work closely with colleagues across Workforce Systems, HR, Finance and operational services, providing specialist analytical advice and constructive challenge and ensuring that workforce decisions are supported by robust evidence.
You will also line manage and develop the Workforce Information Officer and help build a sustainable and responsive workforce analytics service.
Please Note: This role is PENDING AFC SALARY BANDING APPROVAL; therefore, salary cannot be fully confirmed until the Banding is approved.
