The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) distributes public money for higher education to universities and colleges in England, and ensures that this money is used to deliver the greatest benefit to students and the wider public.
We are seeking to recruit four Analysts to join our supportive, enthusiastic, and high performing Analytical Services Directorate (ASD). Our Analysts apply a range of data analytics techniques to large sets of data in order to inform decision-makers in HEFCE and wider government.
The roles are focussed on the use of student data in the on-going development and implementation of four key areas:
1. The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a high-profile government initiative which aims to recognise and reward excellent learning and teaching.
2. The Research Excellence Framework (REF), a high-profile government initiative which aims to recognise and reward excellent research.
3. The allocation of research funding to higher education institutions.
4. Student opportunity policy including analysis of participation of local areas (POLAR) and trends in young participation including gaps in young participation, and analysis relating to the National Collaborative Outreach Programme.
The roles are also likely to include work on:
- supporting the management of a busy, high-performing team
- managing substantial and high-profile new or established work areas
- developing and maintaining processes that ensure the timely and accurate use of student data in our functions
- analysing and presenting data to inform policy, funding or the public
Each role features a variety of technology and responsibilities, so a willingness to learn is vital. ASD values knowledge sharing and development; we offer both external and internal training that covers SAS programming, IT, and interpersonal skills.
We are seeking candidates with the ability to gain insight from large sets of data, develop conclusions, and present results clearly and concisely. You need qualifications with a significant numerical background, and experience in at least one programming language (scripting, OOP, statistical etc.).
