Data Manager

We are seeking to appoint a Data Manager to join us for a great opportunity in a fast-paced role within a school environment. If you have a genuine passion for data and a laser-like focus on accuracy, alongside an appreciation of the need to present complex information in a way your audience will understand, we’d love to hear from you.

Information is at the heart of school operations and you will work closely with the Senior Leadership team to use school data to improve student outcomes. You’ll be enthusiastic about the user experience of data and always looking for new and innovative ways to present accurate information that brings insight into the organisation. 

As Data Manager you will develop and maintain the Academy information assets, so you’ll need a detailed understanding of the data required by schools. Bromcom is our Trust MIS, so if you haven’t used this system before you’ll need to be the sort of person who becomes expert in new software quickly. You will also need to demonstrate professionalism, tact and complete discretion, with strong interpersonal and persuasion skills, and high standards of oral and written communication.

Teamwork is essential in our Trust, and as well as working closely alongside the Exams Officer, you will need to support staff across the organisation in making effective use of data assets. The person appointed will also be expected to work on designated days in August when examination results are published. There’s no escaping the fact that this role can be intense and high pressure during certain periods in the year, so you’ll need resilience and the ability to manage competing priorities well.

We’re situated in the former industrial heartland of Yorkshire, close to the junction of the M62 and A1 and its transport links. The Trust currently comprises four schools across the primary and secondary phases, with plans for future growth and the opportunities that brings. 

Our wellbeing programme includes a range of benefits including:

• The opportunity to work collaboratively within a vibrant, supportive family of schools.

• Use of School IP to assist with CPD and the development of all staff. 

• Our commitment to staff wellbeing (as shown by our Wellbeing Awards for Schools and school-based Staff Wellbeing Ambassadors). 

• Annual appraisals. 

• National College membership. 

• The Key membership. 

• Recognition including Random Acts of Kindness and Staff Awards. 

• Discounted Microsoft products. 

• Annual flu jabs. 

Talk to our staff or pupils and you’ll find out how proud we are of our school, its supportive atmosphere and strong team ethos.
