Swindon Borough Council are on an exciting journey to transform service delivery. We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that's who we're doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you'll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It's all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced intelligence professional with strong technical expertise in data analytics, business intelligence and insight generation. You'll lead the development of high-quality intelligence products that influence strategic decision-making across Adult Social Care and wider council priorities. Working within our Microsoft Fabric environment and Power BI, you'll turn complex data into clear management information and actionable insight that drives performance improvement, service transformation and better outcomes for local people.

We're looking for someone who combines technical excellence with curiosity and creativity. You'll be confident working with large and complex datasets, developing dashboards and analytical products from large scale system data, and translating findings into compelling narratives for senior leaders. Experience of business intelligence tools, data modelling, performance management and stakeholder engagement will be key.

In return, you'll join a supportive and ambitious organisation committed to innovation, professional development and flexible working. You'll have the opportunity to influence major strategic programmes, work with talented colleagues and help shape the future of services across Swindon.

If you're passionate about using data, insight and technology to support better public services, we'd love to hear from you.

The team operates a hybrid working model with all practitioners expected to be in the office for a minimum of two days per week.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act "for the effective performance of a customer-facing role").

Please see our Rewards and Benefits offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It's why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you'll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We'll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we'll achieve our vision of a prosperous, revitalised Swindon together. And you'll be proud to say it was made better with you.
