- Contribute to building and analysing datasets and monitoring KPIs, by assisting in data collection, cleaning, and through interpretation and collaborating on system improvements, to ensure accurate performance tracking and support continuous improvement across initiatives.
- You'll help to maintain the consistency and compliance of data processes and interactions, by following organisational standards and frameworks, to achieve intended results aligned with the organisation's strategic direction and ensure data integrity.
Who we're looking for
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
- Experience of using Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Ability to interpret data and identify trends

*Please include all your relevant qualifications as listed in the essential and desirable criteria for the role. We won't be able to consider your application otherwise.
Is it right for me?
To help you decide, have a think if these apply to you.
- Most of our apprenticeships are open to anyone over the age of 16 and there's no upper age limit. Please note that for safety critical roles the minimum age will be higher.
- You must not have already achieved a similar or higher-level qualification in the apprenticeship role you have applied for. For example, if you have a degree in Engineering, you will not be eligible to apply for an Engineering apprenticeship. However, you could apply for another apprenticeship in a different profession, such as Finance.
- You will not be eligible for an apprenticeship if you are enrolled in/studying towards another qualification, as the apprenticeship is a full-time role with study commitments.
