JOB SUMMARY

We are currently recruiting for the position of Senior Data Analyst to join our Strategy and Impact Directorate, which consists of three Departments: Governance, National Partnerships and Communications and Research and Intelligence Analysis. This is a pivotal role within a small Governance team, that will support the GLAA’s ability to measure our delivery of the GLAA Strategy, understand our impact and make recommendations for improvements.

ABOUT THE GLAA

At the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), we provide exceptional service to the public, businesses, and workers in the fight to stop worker exploitation. We are seeking inspiring leaders who can set clear direction, role model exemplary leadership behaviours, and deliver our vital services to our wide range of beneficiaries with a focus on efficiency and excellence. Building a culture of belonging, we are committed to providing an experience that is inclusive, equitable and kind. We prioritise diversity and believe in a culture rooted in collaboration, growth and team cohesion. Everyday, everyone on the team contributes to stopping worker exploitation.

The GLAA is one of the principal investigative law enforcement bodies for labour exploitation in the UK. The GLAA ensures that workers in the UK are treated fairly, properly and are protected from abuse and exploitation. We have three core functions:

• Regulation - We regulate businesses that provide workers to the horticulture, agriculture, shellfish gathering and food processing and packaging sector. Our regulatory work includes operating a licencing scheme, undertaking inspections to ensure compliance with that scheme, and taking enforcement action where there are breaches.
• Prevention – We work with a broad range of stakeholders locally, nationally, and internationally to help prevent workers from being exploited.
• Enforcement - We investigate allegations of worker abuse under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. GLAA Officers conduct civil and criminal investigations and take enforcement action, including prosecutions and court orders to disrupt criminal activity. We also support victims who have been abused, in particular by ensuring they can access specialist help from our partners.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Government’s plan to Make Work Pay included a commitment to establish a single enforcement body to enforce workers’ rights, including strong powers to inspect workplaces and take action against exploitation. Bringing together state enforcement for workers’ rights will better support businesses who want to comply with the rules, create a strong, recognisable single brand so individuals know where to go for help, and lead to a more effective use of resources and coordinated enforcement action. Bringing state employment enforcement together will create a single executive agency of the Department for Business and Trade known as the Fair Work Agency (FWA). The FWA will bring together the enforcement bodies – HMRC’s National Minimum Wage enforcement function (HMRC NMW), the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS), the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and the Director of Labour Markets (DLME) strategic functions.
