Hackney is one of the most dynamic and progressive local authorities in the UK. We are a resilient, vibrant, and creative borough in the heart of London, with strong, diverse communities and a powerful set of shared values.
Over the past twenty years, the Council has built up first-class services, outstanding public infrastructure, and a reputation for excellence, innovation, and ambition. We are leading the way on essential work such as our fight for equity in Hackney with a particular focus on becoming an actively anti-racist borough. But the work doesn’t stop there, we are proactive in our approach to bringing fairness to all aspects of life including gender, neurodiversity and across the poverty divide.
Looking for a role where your analytical skills can directly improve the lives of residents in Hackney? We are looking for an Assistant Data Analyst to join our Transformation service within the Adults, Health, and Integration directorate. Hackney’s Adult Social Care Transformation Service is at the forefront of redesigning and modernising local services. Our focus is on ensuring support is easy to access, preventive, personalised and of good quality.
As an Assistant Data Analyst, you will play an important role in our performance management framework. You will take lead responsibility for collecting, tracking, and reporting on vital operational and financial metrics, ensuring that social care outcomes and cost-avoidance benefits are accurately reported. Beyond routine reporting, you will maintain and update interactive dashboards (using tools like Qlik or Looker Studio) to provide senior leadership with a clear view of departmental trends. You’ll be a proactive problem-solver, identifying data discrepancies, suggesting process improvements, and empowering staff through the development of self-service reporting tools.
The ideal candidate will possess advanced proficiency in spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and have experience using Business Intelligence tools (such as Qlik or PowerBI) to process and visualise data. You will have a proven track record of producing high-quality analysis that supports decision-making, coupled with a meticulous eye for detail to ensure complex financial and performance calculations are 100% accurate. An experience in an Adult Social Care or health setting would be desirable including the use of relational databases such as Mosaic. Above all, you will have excellent organisational skills and the ability to build strong working relationships across different teams.
As a Council, our most outstanding asset is our staff, who are highly dedicated to serving our residents and committed to our goals as an organisation.

Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.
