Your Role
Stockport Council’s Data Services are looking to recruit an experienced Business Intelligence Analyst to join our existing Children’s BI Team supporting Children’s Social Care and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services.
You will be responsible for delivering high-quality analysis that provide data-driven insight that help services understand performance, identify opportunities for improvement and make evidence-led decisions that improve outcomes for children, young people and families.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Develop and deliver business intelligence solutions, including dashboards, reports and data visualisations that support performance management and evidence-based decision making across Children’s Services.
-
Extract, analyse and interpret complex data using SQL and other analytical tools, ensuring information is accurate, reliable and fit for purpose.

Lead business intelligence projects and service improvements, designing new reporting solutions, performance measures and automated processes to enhance insight and efficiency.
-
Provide statutory, regulatory and inspection support, including the production of statutory returns, performance reporting and analysis to support Ofsted readiness and compliance requirements.
-
Promote data quality and analytical best practice by implementing quality assurance processes, advising stakeholders, and maintaining clear documentation, guidance and governance standards.
About You
You will be an experienced Business Intelligence Analyst with strong technical, analytical and communication skills, passionate about using data to improve outcomes for children, young people and families.
You will be confident working with complex datasets, using SQL, Tableau or Power BI to develop accurate dashboards, reports and insight that support decision making, inspection readiness and statutory reporting.
You will build positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders, translate service needs into practical analytical solutions, presenting findings clearly, and promote data quality, continuous improvement and Stockport’s values effectively.
Experience working in the Public Sector is highly desirable, in particular within local government Children's Services with knowledge of ILACS and SEND frameworks.
