Do you enjoy building web-based forms, solving practical problems and using technology to make processes work better?

Working alongside our HR Systems Development and Integrations Officer, you’ll help create and improve digital forms and workflows, support the development and use of HR systems, and contribute to reports that turn workforce data into clear, useful insight.

Support the design, development, testing and maintenance of bespoke digital web forms and workflows, working with users to understand requirements and improve digital processes.
Assist in the development, enhancement and maintenance of Power BI reports and dashboards, helping to ensure accurate, timely and meaningful data insight.
Work with colleagues across the People & Organisation service to support systems integration, data quality and the effective flow of information between digital tools and platforms.
Contribute to defined digital, data and improvement projects, supporting documentation, testing, user guidance and continuous improvement activity.
Develop technical, analytical and professional skills through supervised work, training and project involvement, supporting progression into a specialist digital, data or systems role.

An interest in data analysis, reporting and dashboard development, with a willingness to develop skills in tools such as Power BI
The ability to explain technical ideas clearly and logically to non-technical colleagues
What’s in it for you?
A 12-month paid opportunity (aiming to commence mid-September 2026)
A recognised project management qualification (PRINCE2)
Professional support and mentorship
