About the Role
This role forms part of the corporate Data & Insight team which aims to shape the way Reigate & Banstead Borough Council uses data to drive transformation, inform policy, support service improvement, increase income and achieve better outcomes for residents and customers. You'll take part in discovery work, innovative analysis and insight generation on high-profile projects within an energetic, experimental and responsible environment.
Whilst primarily employed by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, this role involves working across Mole Valley and Reigate & Banstead Councils to provide, maintain and develop geospatial services and support users within both organisations. Whilst predominantly a technical role, you should be a good communicator, able to work with a range of people to enable them to develop their knowledge and understanding of data and how it can be used to improve what they do.
The diversity of skills and expertise within the team (inc data science and social research) will provide you with opportunities to collaborate, explore innovative new possibilities and realise professional development aspirations. There will be scope to work beyond traditional constraints of larger organisations and to immerse yourself in rewarding work that delivers immediate and tangible benefits to both organisations, Surrey residents and businesses.
