[Hiring] Analyst @Care Quality Commission

Role Description

Make a difference. Every role at CQC contributes to our mission. If you’re looking for a new role in Data & Insight that gives you a true sense of meaning and purpose, then you’ve found it! As an Analyst in the Local Authority Assessment team, you’ll help turn data into insight that strengthens how local authorities support people in their communities.

Picture this. Imagine joining a team where your analysis helps shine a light on how well local services support people who draw on care. Every day, you’ll turn complex information into clear stories that help CQC understand what is working well and where change is needed.

As an Analyst in the Local Authority Assessment team, you might get the chance to design bespoke data collection projects that give CQC the evidence it needs when existing data sources don’t. You will also help shape local authority assessments by producing insight that supports annual reviews and informs decisions.

• Deliver insight products: Create clear, meaningful reports and visualisations that help colleagues understand data and use it in assessments.
• Support effective data use: Help colleagues use self-serve insight tools, promote good data practices, and guide stakeholders on choosing the right data and methods.
