The role:
On behalf of a leading Government Department, we're looking for an experienced HR Data Analyst to support the integration of its Senior Talent and Strategic Recruitment teams.
You'll take ownership of bringing together data from multiple sources, improving how it is managed and presented, and developing clear, visual insights that help senior stakeholders understand performance, identify challenges and make informed decisions.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can work autonomously, make sense of complex and sometimes unstructured information, and turn it into practical solutions. Strong Excel skills and experience building dashboards and visualisations are essential, alongside an interest in using AI tools such as Copilot and Claude to improve data analysis and reporting.
Essential experience:
- Strong experience in data management, analysis and translating complex information into clear insights and recommendations.
- Experience consolidating multiple datasets from different sources, including information held in spreadsheets and Word documents.
- Designing and delivering dashboards, data visualisations and performance reporting.
- Advanced Excel skills and confidence using AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Claude to support dashboard creation and data analysis.
- Experience establishing consistent data processes, improving data quality and embedding effective ways of working.
- Ability to communicate findings through clear narratives and visualisations to non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable working autonomously, dealing with ambiguity and taking ownership in a fast-paced environment.
Desirable:
- Experience within central or local government, the NHS or an ALB.
- Knowledge of data governance and data security.
- Experience with SQL, Python, R or Power Platform tools.
