Role Summary
We are looking for a Data Analyst to support the analysis and reporting of impact across a portfolio of projects and programmes delivered by a range of our VCSE delivery partners. This is a great opportunity for someone with a genuine interest in data who wants to further develop their analytical and reporting skills within a supportive team, working on
data that demonstrates positive impact on local communities.

Working alongside colleagues across the VCSA, you will help bring together information from different projects, support the production of clear reports and visualisations, and help the organisation understand what its data is telling us about performance and impact. You will be supported to grow into more advanced areas of the role, such as dashboard development, performance frameworks, and presenting to senior stakeholders, as your experience builds.

The VCSA focuses on supporting delivery that benefits marginalised and underserved communities, and is committed to delivering services that are equitable, inclusive, and responsive to lived experience. We are looking for someone who shares this commitment and who will approach data about the people we support with care, respect, and an awareness of the people behind the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the analysis of data across a portfolio of projects, each with its own objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Carry out quantitative analysis (numbers, figures, statistics) and qualitative analysis (feedback, case studies, survey responses) to help evaluate performance and impact.
• 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.
• Contribute to discussions about how the organisation measures performance and impact and support the development of monitoring tools over time.
• Take part in training and development opportunities to build skills in areas such as dashboards, statistical analysis, and stakeholder presentation as the role develops.
