Job Introduction

Are you impact-focused, ambitious and ready for a challenge? Would you like to make a difference to the lives of young people and their families through impactful data analysis?

The Commissioning division within the Children, Families and Lifelong Learning Directorate is driving change and innovation with a relentless focus on improving outcomes for the children, young people and families of Surrey. At the heart of what we aim to achieve is the ambition to develop a deeper understanding of our communities, the challenges they face, their strengths, assets, and aspirations, so we can work with them to remove as many obstacles as possible to provide children and young people and their families with the support they need.

To gain the understanding that is required to achieve our objectives, our Commissioning service has an Analysis and Evaluation team. The team works to provide commissioners with the knowledge they require to make informed, evidence-based decisions, using a variety of qualitative and quantitative data. We look at national and international best practice and trends, and foster innovation to make sure Commissioning is future focussed. There are a variety of exciting projects sitting within the team, and the portfolio of work includes dealing with issues in the areas of Health and Wellbeing, SEND, Corporate Parenting, Early Help, Social Care, Early Years and Education, and Support for Disabilities.

Could this be you?

We are looking for candidates who can:

  • Interpret quantitative data from large and complex data sets,
  • Write effective reports that identify patterns, potential conclusions and opportunities,
  • Use their knowledge of statistics and statistical analysis,
  • Use software for data analysis and data visualisation tools (e.g. MS Excel, Tableau, FME, SQL),
  • Apply SQL skills to work across the portfolio,
  • Bring a solution focused and pragmatic attitude.

You may already have previous experience or some understanding of data within the NHS, local authority or third sector but it will be your excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to work collaboratively with others including friendly and supportive colleagues who are committed to delivering excellent outcomes that will enable success.
