We’re looking for someone who’s wants to develop their data skills, and we’d love to support you through a Data Apprenticeship or similar.

You’d be developing your own capabilities and have access to a range of specialists across our Data and Information teams to support you. We’d like you to explore which aspects of data interest you most and play to your strengths.

It’s not just a technical role. You’d be working with National Data Custodians to explore how they can make sure their data is meeting everyone’s needs. There’s a real opportunity to engage with people and change how we do things.

The whole team gets involved in modernising how the EA works with data, and we’ll value the perspectives you bring.

The post is vacant owing to technical development and progression by the previous post-holder.
We’re a dispersed team, and proudly open and supportive.

We work from various places around the country, meeting in person infrequently. We value the fact that we’re embedded in different locations and the networks and diversity of perspectives that brings.

We’re part of Data and Information in the Chief Operating Officer’s Directorate.
• Experience of working with data and tackling issues with it.
• Ability to engage with non-data specialists
• Willing to develop and learn new technical skills and apply them
