We are seeking bright and enthusiastic individuals of graduate calibre (degree in analytical subject within social sciences/mathematics or with well proven and evidenced experience of numerical or research analysis in a law enforcement environment) to join our highly skilled performance analysis team.

As an analyst within Business Intelligence you will be regularly monitoring and identifying performance risks and opportunities that have the potential to impact on the force's strategy and the public's priorities. You will be highly regarded throughout the force for your well-developed technical and mathematical skills and will take the lead on developing, maintaining and communicating performance frameworks for your respective areas of responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

• To be responsible for the on-going development, integrity, and delivery of management information.
• To prepare it in the form of products and reports providing quantitative and qualitative analysis in support of the force’s strategy as well as other national, regional and local government requirements. Your work will play a key role in assessing the force’s performance in relation to the Force’s strategy for service delivery.
• To proactively liaise with stakeholders to provide them with timely, accurate and relevant assessments of performance in relation to the force’s strategy.

Skills Experience

The preferred candidates will also be familiar with analysing data and information, making inferences and explaining statistical concepts and have the ability to manage requirements and prioritise tasks across a diverse range of subject areas.

Most importantly you must be an exceptional communicator; you will be expected to maintain good working relationships within the organisation, (including key stakeholders and internal customers) and with external agencies such as the Home Office and HMICFRS. You will also be expected to present the findings of your analysis to senior leaders, who will use your insight and analysis to support their decision making.
