About the Role
Are you a data enthusiast who loves turning complex information into clear, actionable insights? We are looking for a Data Officer to take ownership of our Management Information System (Bromcom) and analytical platforms.

What you bring to the table:
- A good standard of general education (NVQ Level 3 or equivalent) combined with proven data management experience—ideally within an educational environment.
- Advanced ICT skills, particularly with Microsoft Excel and ideally Bromcom or similar school analytical software.
- Outstanding multitasking and organisational abilities, a knack for creative problem-solving, and the confidence to make decisions under minimal direction.
- A deep commitment to acting as a positive adult role model and safeguarding the safety and welfare of our students.
We can offer you
- A supportive trust and school community
- Strong collaboration across the trust family of schools and access to a centralised team of specialists across all areas of school operations
- A commitment to high‑quality CPD, with dedicated time and budget for your development
- A values‑driven ethos where diversity, equity and inclusion are lived everyday
- Recognition of continuous service (modification order) to protect employment rights and entitlements
- Local Authority Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions and death‑in‑service cover
- Occupational sick pay to support you during illness or unexpected emergencies
- Family‑friendly leave packages to help maintain a healthy work‑life balance
