When you're the UK's biggest government department, and you deal with millions of people's data every day, Data Quality matters.
We're hiring Data Quality Analyst to champion data quality across DWP, as we take on a once-in-a-generation digital transformation.
Data is a crucial asset within DWP, we use it to inform strategic decisions concerning our policies and operations and how we help our users.
To support our continued transition to really being a data led organisation, we've established the Office of the Chief Data Officer. We ensure and assure the ethical and secure use of data across DWP and beyond.
We hold data on eligibility, citizen payments, benefits, pensions and many other areas.
We are currently developing an improved data governance framework which will support data sharing to organisations such as local authorities, HMRC and other government departments so the impact and reach of your role is potentially huge.
Data. Work. Projects.
We want you to champion data quality and deliver targeted data quality interventions.
Working with people across DWP you'll define when critical data sets are fit for purpose, assess the quality of source data, carry out root cause analysis and initiate the remediation needed to improve the quality of data.
As part of the Data Quality Centre of Excellence you will provide support to resolve data quality risks and issues and help build a data quality community across DWP.
These posts will work under the umbrella of the Data Quality Centre of Excellence within the Office of the Chief Data Office.
We have a number of positions - from providing advice and guidance right through to being part of targeted intervention teams. We provide support right across DWP and so the posts could be allocated into any business area within DWP (like Universal Credit, and Retirement Services) so we'll have a great role to fit your skills and ambitions.
What skills, knowledge and experience will you need?
- Experience in implementing data quality frameworks i.e. principles and practices to assess, communicate and improve the quality of data
- Proven interpersonal and communication skills to translate, promote and embed Data Quality
- Demonstrable experience of supporting a data stewardship network committed to achieving high standards of data quality
