About The Role
The Performance and Intelligence team are part of the Quality, Practice, Relationships and Support division which sits within the Children, Families and Lifelong Learning Directorate. The role reports to the Head of Performance for Education and Lifelong Learning in a team consisting of five performance officers and one strategic analyst.
Our aim as a performance team is to support the organisation to ensure that no one is left behind. We take a support and challenge approach to practice by providing a sophisticated performance profile that includes a robust set of data, reporting and feedback mechanisms.
As a Performance Officer you will be responsible for making sure the front-line service teams receive and have access to the information they need to sustain and further develop improvements to practice. This will partly be through an existing reporting schedule and meetings with senior members of the service, as well as maintaining and building new data visualisation dashboards to help them access their own performance information.
The performance team also manage all statutory data returns including the SEN2 return for pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan and the Alternative Provision census. Performance officers take a leading role in the submission process and so a deep understanding of at least one of these service areas would be beneficial.
