South Lanarkshire Council Education Resources is strengthening the way we use data to drive improvement across our schools and services.
We are seeking to recruit a skilled and enthusiastic Education Data Analyst to help us make the best use of the rich and complex data available across all areas of our work. You will play a key role in supporting strategic planning, performance improvement and policy development by analysing educational data, developing dashboards and visual tools and providing insight that supports senior leaders, schools and partners.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to South Lanarkshire Council’s improvement agenda, including national priorities around data use, closing the poverty‑related attainment gap, improving outcomes for children and young people and ensuring the effective use of targeted funding.
We are looking for someone who is analytical, innovative and confident working with large datasets. You will provide high‑quality statistical advice, support self‑evaluation and performance activities and lead data development projects that enhance our understanding of attendance, attainment, equity and wider outcomes. You will also represent the Council at national forums and collaborate with internal and external partners, including NHS, HSCP and Scottish Government.
You will join a supportive and forward‑thinking team at a time of significant development and change, with the chance to shape how we use data to improve the lives of children, young people and families across South Lanarkshire.
Hybrid working is available for this role. If you are shortlisted, we look forward to discussing how we balance service needs with flexibility to support your work–life balance.
