By the end of the assignment, you'll have delivered a consolidated, accurate and actionable dataset that strengthens long‑term monitoring and decision‑making.

What you'll need to succeed

Alongside advanced Excel capability and confidence working across multiple systems. Experience updating databases or case management tools, with high attention to detail and strong audit discipline.

Clear communication skills and a pragmatic, solutions‑focused mindset.Furthermore, knowledge of Section 106 or planning obligations data, previous work in a local authority or education service and familiarity with Power Apps or similar low‑code platforms would be desirable.

What you'll get in return
You'll join a committed and collaborative team focused on improving the visibility, accuracy and governance of critical funding. Your work will have a direct and lasting impact on how education mitigation is monitored and delivered across the authority. This is an opportunity to apply your data expertise in a role that offers autonomy, purpose and the chance to leave behind a clean, structured and future‑ready dataset.
