A Great Opportunity as a Reporting Improvement Analyst (Better Care Fund)

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here. 
  The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us. 
  The Post

We are seeking an experienced, curious and pro-active data analyst who is excited to develop and shape a new role which goes beyond the typical data analysis brief.  The role will work with a wide range of stakeholders, maintaining existing and required reporting, whilst exploring how data is currently captured, identify gaps or limitations, and help design and deliver short- and longer-term solutions that makes data more available, reliable and meaningful.

This data will help to shape how we plan, implement, track and manage services funded by the Better Care Fund (BCF) across Adult Social Care (ASC) and a range of integrated schemes with our health partners. The BCF is a national programme that supports the integration of health and social care services, aiming to improve outcomes for residents.

Around half of your time will be spent on core data analysis and reporting tasks. The other half will focus on working closely with colleagues across the council and partner organisations to address the identified challenges.   

The role sits within the Integrated Care Partnership Team, with strong support from the Adult Social Care Performance Team.

• Strong experience of working with Excel and Power BI

• Can build strong networks and relationships to understand different perspectives.
• Enjoys learning new things and developing practical solutions.
• Is comfortable planning and managing their own workload.
• Can think creatively, beyond standard approaches, to improve how data is used.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys exploring new ideas, making connections, and turning data into a tool for real change, we’d love to hear from you.
