In this role, you will report directly into the Senior Data Manager and support the data and analytic work streams in the academy.  The successful candidate will be organised, methodical, have a great eye for detail and understand how the accuracy and manipulation of data underpins the success of the academy’s operation.  

The successful candidate will need to be a highly competent Microsoft Excel user, have experience with SIMS (desirable) and aspire to work in an environment with a strong moral purpose.  Although previous school experience would be advantageous, we will consider applications from bright and ambitious university graduates who are looking to begin a career in the education sector.

The KAA data team are highly regarded within the school community for their invaluable contribution to how the academy is run.  This role gives you the chance to be part of that journey - to support the Senior Data Manager in setting an ambitious and intelligent strategy for data here at KAA and to think creatively about how systems and processes can be improved.  For candidates looking to be challenged and motivated, this job opportunity promises to be a great platform for refining your professional skills and knowledge and working in an environment which encourages growth and autonomy.  At KAA, we have a proud tradition of developing and investing in our staff.  This role offers the opportunity to gain valuable data experience in schools, and previous Data Analysts have gone on to take up senior roles in data management at prestigious schools/academies having developed a robust and desirable skill set here at KAA.    

KAA also offers its staff a suit of generous benefits including free school lunches and well-being activities including yoga/circuits and discounted gym membership (at the local leisure centre).  

What you offer KAA 

With a diverse student/staff body, we are looking for someone who aspires to work in an environment with lots of vibrancy and opportunity.  The successful candidate will have a strong work ethic, good inter-personal skills and exhibit integrity in all aspects of their work.  You will also be a keen team player with the ability to share useful ideas about how things can be improved.
