You will work alongside other colleagues, including a Senior Business Intelligence officer within Digital services, to support the development and implementation of the Families First Partnership (FFP) within Derbyshire.
The role will sit within the Council’s Corporate Planning and Performance Team alongside other Performance Officers who provide data, analysis insight and performance expertise to support the operational management and strategic planning of services.
This role will lead on the development of a performance framework to support the FFP working closely and collaboratively with programme leads, strategic leaders and partners to understand their needs in terms of performance, data and demonstrating impact.
