You will use data to create visual tools, generate insights and support evidence‑based decision‑making, facilitate workshops, map processes and support the delivery of transformation initiatives across the council. You will also measure the benefits of change efforts and report on them, to evidence success and help shape services that are efficient, effective and aligned with Bolton’s strategic goals.
