Senior Data Analyst - HOTH

Social workers within the Hub work closely with district Multi-Agency Child Protection Teams, acting as HOTH specialists to support Lead Child Protection Practitioners. The team strengthen safeguarding practice through robust analysis, informed decision-making, and collaborative working. As part of this, the Hub leads on key processes such as the HOTH Daily Meeting and Multi-Agency Child Exploitation (MACE) and will soon introduce a pre-MACE approach to enhance early intervention.

The Senior Data Analyst will play a pivotal role in the Hub, delivering high-quality analysis of trends and patterns of harm, enabling data-driven decisions and supporting strategic responses to exploitation and extra-familial risk. This is a part-time role (18.5 hours per week), with days and times negotiable within the working week. No antisocial hours are required. We offer flexible hybrid working arrangements, so you will work both from our Gloucester office and from home. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable children and young people. This post is subject to a full DBS check (enhanced adults and children). In addition, due to the nature and location of the work base, the successful applicant will require NPPV2 (Non-Police Personnel Vetting) clearance. Further information on this vetting process can be found here: Police National Vetting Service | Warwickshire Police.

While NPPV2 vetting is being completed, the successful candidate will be temporarily based within the MASH team, working alongside a colleague from the Child Exploitation Team (who work from MASH on a rota basis) and in close partnership with Police Analysts from the Force Intelligence Bureau.
