A bit about the role...

As the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, we exist to work with partners to support them in tackling housing challenges and enabling the delivery of new homes. The Data and Analytics Directorate plays a crucial role in this mission, providing the data, insights, and intelligence necessary to ensure the agency's efficiency and success in delivering existing business while generating new opportunities. 

Our core mission is to empower the agency through robust data strategies and insightful analytics, helping to deliver on Homes England's strategic plan.

We are currently undertaking an ambitious data programme aimed at centralising our data onto an Azure data platform. This initiative involves close collaboration with data architects and data engineers to create a system that enables more efficient, scalable, re-usable, automated, and sustainable use of data.

We are committed to maintaining data integrity and fostering a data-driven culture where information is not merely a tool but a strategic asset that underpins our efforts to deliver better homes and places for those in need.

Joining the Data and Analytics Directorate means becoming part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team that is dedicated to making a tangible impact on the housing landscape of England. We are looking for professionals who are passionate about data, driven to solve complex challenges, and eager to contribute to the success of one of the nation’s most critical public agencies.

As a Senior Data Analyst you will both oversee and actively participate in the analysis and interpretation of complex data to support decision-making and strategy development. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into clear, data-driven recommendations, ensuring the accuracy and quality of data processes. You will be responsible for enhancing data processes, ensuring accuracy, and implementing best practices in data analysis and visualisation.

A bit about you…

You are a forward-thinking and innovative Senior Data Analyst, capable of driving data analysis and reporting initiatives that enhance data-driven decision-making across the organisation. With a strategic mindset and a deep understanding of data analysis, visualisation, and architecture, you leverage your ability to deliver impactful insights and solutions.

You have experience managing a diverse range of stakeholders, and you excel at translating complex data findings into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.

You are resilient and adept at managing change, with the determination to see projects through to completion, even when faced with challenges. You view setbacks as opportunities to learn and continuously improve your work.

You have a proven track record of delivering successful data analysis initiatives that align with broader organisational strategies. Your collaborative approach allows you to work effectively with teams across the business, and you are skilled at managing expectations while fostering a culture of teamwork and innovation.

You promote a collaborative and supportive environment and engage with continuous learning and growth.

Who are we?

Homes England: The Housing and Regeneration Agency

We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. And we use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting the utmost attention to building safety.

Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come.

What we offer...

As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you.

Membership of the Homes and Communities Agency Pension Scheme, which is a contributory defined benefit scheme with the amount you receive on retirement based on your salary and years worked at the Agency.

Internal applicants: please note that if you are successful, the salary you are offered will be in accordance with our pay controls and pay policy. You can find details on the HR Hub SharePoint site.

If you ever need a bit of extra help, we have a great employee assistance programme, financial wellbeing support and access to many great discounts with leading high street names. 

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future. 

If you are a member of a professional body, we’ll pay for your membership and once you get your digital kit, you’ll be good to go. 

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We work to a 50/50 office/ home based model. Moving back into our office environments has enabled us to utilise our space and time together in the most collaborative way. 

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. 

We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.
