We require all staff to work a minimum of 2 days per week on average working in our London office/in person, in line with our hybrid working framework.

We are excited to be able to offer two fixed-term Senior Analytical Manager roles in the Data Analytics Directorate. We are looking for motivated and talented individuals with an excellent track record in leading teams to deliver research and analysis to improve health and care, or in a related field.

The roles are based in the Core Analytics Team, a sub-team of around 10 staff within Data Analytics. We use cutting-edge approaches to provide insights about the health of the UK population, as well as health and care system performance. We also support analysts across the Foundation with access to data and tools, and support and promote the use of data analytics across the health and care system.

Current work across the team includes: work exploring NHS performance, for example elective care waiting lists; exploring new ways to link health and care data; developing a portfolio of work examining trends in health across the UK; and, leadership of the Foundation’s data strategy.

There are two exciting roles available:

• Senior Analytical Manager (maternity cover) – Fixed-term contract until 31 July 2025
• Senior Analytical Manager – Fixed-term contract until 31 March 2026

The two Senior Analytical Managers work together to lead the Core Analytics Team, working closely with the Assistant Director and Director of Data Analytics. The Senior Analytical Managers also work to develop an environment where the team can thrive, working together, and with individual people managers to promote the development of our people, team science, open working, and patient and public involvement and engagement. They also play a crucial role in working with colleagues across the Foundation’s three strategic priorities to develop and deliver an ambitious programme of analytical research that makes an important contribution to achieving the Foundation’s mission.

Individual areas of responsibility will be agreed with the successful candidates based on the team’s current work programme, but we would expect each Senior Analytical Manager to take responsibility for one of the following:

• developing and leading an ambitious and substantive longer-term programme of analytical research, develop collaborations with academia, and drive publication of our work in peer review journals
• leading an ambitious and fast-paced programme of shorter-term analysis seeking to respond to current policy issues and priorities.

About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details visit our website.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 90,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 85% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 6,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please visit our website.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 3.5 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

The charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.
