Do you have a passion for getting data right so organisations can make confident, informed decisions?
Are you someone who loves improving processes and making sure information is accurate, reliable, and easy to use?
Do you enjoy roles where you can support colleagues with clear, trustworthy reporting that helps services reach people who need them most?
Use your data and financial insight to help ensure no one in the UK has to live without heat, light or power. If you’re driven by purpose and passionate about high‑quality data, this role lets you shape decisions that directly improve lives.
Fuel Bank Foundation supports people facing fuel crisis by providing emergency financial help, practical advice, and long‑term advocacy. As the UK’s only charity dedicated to households who prepay for their energy, our work is urgent, meaningful, and growing. High‑quality financial data is essential to how we plan, allocate resources, report to funders, and demonstrate our impact — and that’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Data Quality Analyst to strengthen the accuracy, integrity, and usefulness of financial and operational data across the organisation. You’ll play a vital role in developing data governance processes, improving reporting systems, and ensuring the organisation has the insight it needs to operate efficiently, transparently, and in line with our mission.
What you’ll do
You’ll develop and maintain finance data policies, ensuring alignment with audit standards, financial controls, and regulatory requirements. You’ll monitor and audit data quality across systems, identifying issues and implementing improvements that protect accuracy and compliance.
Working closely with colleagues across Finance, Operations, and Strategic Partnerships, you’ll gather and document reporting requirements, validate data needs, and ensure our financial reporting is robust, relevant, and timely. You’ll analyse income, expenditure, and allocation datasets to support forecasting, modelling, and fund distribution decisions.
You’ll build dashboards and visual tools (e.g., Power BI) that connect financial data to programme performance and service impact. You’ll produce clear, actionable insights for technical and non‑technical audiences, supporting senior leadership, trustees, funders, and auditors.
You’ll also contribute to developing financial KPIs, social impact metrics, and monitoring frameworks that help us understand the cost and value of our services — from average cost per outcome to cost avoidance and programme effectiveness.
What you’ll bring
You’ll have experience in data analysis with a strong financial or funding component, ideally within a charity, social enterprise, or public sector environment. You’ll be confident using Excel and Power BI,with a solid understanding of data governance, quality standards, and GDPR.
You’ll understand financial reporting, budgeting, cost allocation, and forecasting, and you’ll be comfortable working with funder requirements and audit processes. You’ll have strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate complex data into meaningful insight.
You’ll thrive in a fast‑paced, mission‑driven environment, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and composure. You’ll be collaborative, proactive, and committed to continuous improvement — always looking for ways to strengthen systems and processes.
Why join us
At Fuel Bank Foundation, you’ll be part of a supportive, inclusive team united by a shared mission. Your work will directly influence how we allocate resources, measure impact, and support people experiencing fuel crisis. If you want to use your analytical skills to create meaningful change for vulnerable communities, we’d love to hear from you.
What you will receive in return:
- Support from a team of like-minded individuals who will support you to succeed in the role.
- Annual leave entitlement of 27.5 days (FTE), plus bank holidays plus the option to buy/sell extra days.
- A flexible working week to ensure work life balance.
- Enhanced pension contributions.
- Equal opportunity employers
- Full onboarding programme with ongoing training and development opportunities.
The role is predominantly home-based, with regular travel to the offices in Birmingham City Centre.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an initial meet and greet call, an online interview, and a second in-person interview at our offices in Birmingham.
We really appreciate the time taken to apply. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we’re not able to respond individually to unsuccessful candidates, but we want to thank you sincerely for your interest in supporting our work.

- Support the identification of trends, patterns and areas worth exploring further, raising these with colleagues and line management.
- Support the bringing together of data from different sources and systems into clear, consistent formats for reporting.
- Help maintain accurate, well-organised data and flag any quality or consistency issues.
- Support compliance with data protection requirements and organisational policy when collecting, storing, and sharing data.
- Produce clear reports, summaries, and visualisations (using Excel and other tools) for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Work with colleagues across the VCSA to understand their reporting needs and help improve the quality and usefulness of the data collected.
