SalaryAre you ready to make an impact? Whether you’re a seasoned public sector analyst, a recent graduate eager to kick-start your career, or someone passionate about transitioning into data analysis, we invite you to join our small but growing insight team at Lincolnshire County Council Community Safety Service.
Unlock Insights, Shape Safety
As an Analyst or Analyst Trainee, you’ll explore a complex and interconnected web of Community Safety issues, including crime, antisocial behavior, reoffending, substance misuse, and domestic abuse.
You’ll play a pivotal role within multi-agency partnerships and service commissioning, using evidence to drive decisions. Often, you’ll be the first person to analyse data in depth, experimenting with new technologies and data visualizations to elevate your work.
But that’s not all—over time, you’ll become an expert, an authority on trends and patterns within Community Safety, and an influential voice in decision-making.
About you
To succeed in this role, you’ll need to be a sharp, critical thinker, somebody who can navigate intricate details while discerning their significance within the context of your work. Somebody who can see strategic patterns and trends and then communicate them in creative and engaging ways to diverse audiences from a range of professional backgrounds.
Novelty will not faze you and you will be able to work autonomously without detailed instructions. You’ll be comfortable working with Excel to analyse your data, and prepared to take your analysis into other packages when it is appropriate to do so. Your enthusiasm for continuous learning and your personal leadership skills will drive you through long projects and your professional development.
With confidence, you’ll challenge norms, question assumptions, and always back your insights with evidence. You’ll be naturally curious and keen to explore data and insights from all angles before making conclusions and recommendations.
