Are you an Insights Analyst who enjoys digging into messy problems, working autonomously, and using data to genuinely improve outcomes for people? I’m hiring for an Insights Analyst to join a purpose-driven organisation delivering services across employability, justice, health, and wider citizen services.

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on Power BI, offering a high level of autonomy and the chance to shape how insight is used across the business. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, investigative analysis, and working in an environment where the work has real social impact.

What you bring

• Variety - projects span employability, justice, health, and citizen services
• Hybrid working - just one day a week in the Liverpool office
