We're a dynamic organisation with a strong focus on evidence and impact, and the Learning Team has already laid strong foundations for our data infrastructure. We are now looking for a Data Analyst to join our national team - a varied role, working alongside our second Data Analyst and the Learning & Insights Lead. This role is key in championing our learning culture at SHiFT, supporting our Voice, Participation, and Belonging strategy, and ensuring that our systems and reporting effectively demonstrate the impact SHiFT is having - not only with children and families, but also at a wider systems change level. On a fixed-term basis, this role will support the Learning Team by freeing up capacity for strategic and evaluative work, while also offering the opportunity to contribute to an exciting phase of growth in SHiFT's data infrastructure and learning capabilities. This role is perfect for someone looking to take a step up and build on existing skills in impact assessment, process evaluation, and thematic analysis.

Therefore, you must be a proactive team player who is brilliant at building relationships, sees the value in working collaboratively, and enjoys problem-solving with others.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with ideas for ethical and innovative methods in data collection with children and families. The successful candidate will bring both expertise and creativity to help improve data capture, analysis, reporting processes, and insight generation. Your experience will include working with CRM system(s) and data reporting tools, and you will be adept at managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

We are determined for SHiFT to be a diverse and inclusive organisation that is enriched by a wide range of backgrounds, expertise, and experiences. We want to build a workplace that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included, and involved. As a charity working within youth justice, we are keenly aware of the over-representation of children who identify as Black, Brown and Mixed Heritage or from Gypsy, Roma or Traveller Communities within the youth justice system. Challenging racism is a key priority for SHiFT. In seeking to achieve this, we understand the value and importance of recruiting and retaining a workforce which represents the children we seek to support. We therefore particularly encourage and welcome applications from people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, and we recognise that this group is currently under-represented within our national team. THE RESPONSIBILITES SHiFT's Data Analyst has responsibility for: Data Collection and Management: Support the effective use of SHiFT's Salesforce system, ensuring accurate, timely data entry and maintenance across local Practices. Work closely and creatively with members of our local Practice Teams (Practice Coordinators and Guides) to support the use of data for practice improvement and monitoring impact.

System Improvement and Efficiency: Identify and implement opportunities to streamline data processes. Contribute to the continuous improvement of SHiFT's Salesforce configuration, in collaboration with external developers and internal users. Help document processes and support training materials for system users. Navigate and innovate with different systems, including understanding the data recording systems used by Local Authorities and working with the Learning and Practice team to reduce duplication of data entry for practitioners. Learning and Insight Generation: Produce routine reports and data summaries for internal use, feeding into learning and influencing conversations.
