HEO ROLE IN REDUCING REOFFENDING STATISTICS TEAM

The Reducing Reoffending Statistics team is responsible for processing, analysing, and publishing data on our key reoffending datasets, as well as offering analytical insight to Ministers, policy colleagues and external customers.
Reducing reoffending is a strategic priority for the Ministry of Justice, and the statistics that analysts in this team produce are an essential part of this programme.
These statistics also facilitate policy decisions on a whole range of other topics, both across MoJ and externally, for example, including the impact of women in the Criminal Justice system and the development of drugs policy at the Home Office.
You will work to produce the Proven Reoffending Quarterly Statistics publication, which is an accredited National Statistics publication. The reoffending measure is technically complex, relying on linking numerous data sources and coding in SQL and R.
Due to the high-profile nature of the topic area, the team also receives regular Parliamentary Questions (PQ) and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests whilst maintaining rigorous data assurance processes, so strong communication skills are required, along with the ability to prioritise multiple workstreams. Additionally, analysts in this team will own and lead on their own analytical projects, applying their knowledge and skills to support decision-making.

Roles are open to:

• Existing analysts from all professions (GORS/GSS/GSR/GES) either on level transfer or on promotion.
• Other candidates that are not members of GSS, GORS, GSR, GES professions but possess and can demonstrate similar experience at the appropriate level. Badging opportunities will be available once in post for those who wish to apply
