Job summary

Defra Farming Statistics teams are responsible for producing key departmental statistics on all aspects of the farming sector to monitor the structure, size and value of the industry. We are also responsible for monitoring farmer incomes, profitability, land use, activities of the agricultural industry and volumes of domestic food production. Our data are used extensively across the department and wider industry for monitoring the English and UK farming sectors, for UK commodity market monitoring and for international agricultural data reporting. The data are also heavily used in secondary analyses such as calculating greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, fertiliser use, and soil nutrient run-off for policy development and monitoring.

All our publications are available to view at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/food-farming-and-bio-security-statistics

The team consists of approx. 30 data analysts and statisticians and we currently have a number of analyst vacancies across the team.

The roles can be carried out from any of the listed Defra policy hub locations, with an expectation of occasional travel to the other hubs for team meetings.

Running an annual inventory to monitor pedigree livestock breed populations.
Valuing the economic contribution, productivity and profitability of the farming sector.
Producing bespoke analyses for policy teams, often to tight deadlines for ministerial briefings or in response to sector emergencies.
Preparing regular statistical publications for the Defra website or compendium publications, such as Agriculture in the UK. All our publications are based on the standards of the UK Statistics Authority Code of Practice for Statistics, maintaining trustworthiness, quality, and value.
Adopting modern analytical approaches using R (including use of GitHub, Reproducible Analytical Pipelines, process automation, Cloud data storage).
Developing improved data collection methods, including opportunities to link data from administrative data sources.

Things you need to know

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.

Selection process details

This vacancy is using Success Profiles , and will assess your Behaviours, Experience and Technical skills.

In your application, you will be asked to submit your CV and a personal statement. Please use your personal statement (in no more than 500 words) to explain how you meet the skills & experience required for the roles.

You will also be asked to submit an example (250 words max) of how you demonstrate the Technical element mentioned in the advert.

In the event of a large number of applicants, applications will be sifted on personal statements. If you are successful in the sift and progress to interview, you will be interviewed against all the Behaviours and Technical skills listed in the advert. During the interview, you will also be asked to give a 5 minute presentation on a topic given to you in advance.

Sift and interview dates to be confirmed.

Location

As part of the pre-employment process for this post, successful candidate(s) will be able to agree a contractual workplace from those locations listed in this advert. The agreed contractual workplace is then the substantive and permanent place of work for the successful candidate(s).

Where the location is National the successful appointee should discuss and agree an appropriate contractual location in line with both Defras location policy and site capacity, prior to proceeding with pre-employment processes.

The agreed amount of time spent at a workplace for this post will reflect the requirement for Civil Servants to spend at least 60% of their working time in an organisation workplace with the option to work the remaining time flexibly from home. Working time spent at a workplace may include time spent at other organisational locations including field-based operational locations, together with supplier, customer or partner locations. This is a non-contractual agreement which is consistent with common Civil Service expectations.

Travel costs to non-contractual workplaces will be subject to departmental travel and subsistence policies. Travel costs to contractual workplaces are the responsibility of the employee.

The successful candidate is required to carry out all their duties from a UK location, and cannot do so from an overseas location at any time.

Defra includes the core department, APHA, RPA, Cefas and VMD.

Salary

New entrants to the Civil Service are expected to start on the minimum of the pay band. The internal roles rules apply to existing Civil Servants, i.e. level transfers move on current salary or the pay range minimum, transfers on promotion move to new pay range minimum or receive 10% increase. Either case is determined by whichever is the highest.

Reserve List

A reserve list may be held for a period of 12 months from which further appointments can be made.

Childcare Vouchers

Any move to DEFRA from another employer will mean you can no longer access childcare vouchers. This includes moves between government departments. You may however be eligible for other government schemes, including Tax Free Childcare; for further information visit the Childcare Choices website.

Visa Sponsorship Statement

Please take note that Defra does not hold a UK Visa & Immigration (UKVI) Skilled Worker License sponsor and are unable to sponsor any individuals for Skilled Worker Sponsorship.

In order to process applications without delay, we will be sending a Criminal Record Check to Disclosure and Barring Service on your behalf.

This check also applies to employees who resign or otherwise leave before being dismissed for fraud or dishonesty had their employment continued. Any applicants details held on the IFD will be refused employment.
