Data Analyst

Salary:   £23,416 (Grade 9) 

Hours:   37 hours, Term Time plus 5 days

At Moor End Academy, we pride ourselves on how we use data to identify strengths and areas for development, and act so that underperformance is addressed quickly and effectively.  In order for us to do this, we need a data analyst who is skilled in the use of Excel, so that they can build spreadsheets which enable us to identify patterns and trends, and display data in a way that all key stakeholders can engage with and understand.  You would need to be able to present data accurately and with clarity so that staff at all levels are able to understand what actions are necessary. 

Our data is inputted into SIMS, and uploaded to SISRA, so a working knowledge of these platforms would be a huge advantage.  We also present our data graphically to provide visual representations of progress and attainment, so using Excel to facilitate this would be crucial.  Experience of GCSE results day would be beneficial too. 

As data analyst, you would be working as part of a close team alongside the exams officer, and the data assistant.  The VP for assessment and outcomes would line manage you directly, and be heavily involved with all monitoring and quality assurance processes.  The ability to innovate, and stay up to date with current educational trends and any changes to accountability measures/outcomes will also be key to success in this role.  

Within the academy, we are rich in data, and have some highly skilled staff who are able to use this effectively to improve outcomes for our students.  We need somebody to join the team who is passionate about data and its purpose, and who can share this data with staff so that they can use it meaningfully and for measurable impact.  If you think that you have the right skills to join us, and be a driving force behind our results improving year on year, then please do not hesitate to submit an application. 

If you want to be part of this journey to outstanding and you feel that you would like to be a part of our team, then we would like to hear from you.

Closing date for applications: 9am Friday 28th June 2019 

Successful applicants will be required to undertake a Criminal Record Check via the DBS. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
