The Vacancy

Are you curious about data and interested in how technology can help organisations make better decisions?
Would you like the opportunity to develop your skills with modern Microsoft data and analytics tools such as Microsoft Fabric, OneLake and Power BI, while helping a national charity improve the quality, accuracy and value of its information?
If so, we'd love to hear from you.
The Methodist Church is looking for a Graduate Data Analyst to join our IT team for an 18‑month fixed-term contract. This role is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate looking to gain practical experience in data analytics, reporting, business intelligence and information management within a supportive, collaborative and value-driven organisation.
You'll work on projects that make a real difference. From improving data quality and creating dashboards to helping build our future data platform, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience across the full data lifecycle while developing skills that are increasingly in demand across all sectors. Your work will directly support our national digital transformation programme.

As our Graduate Data Analyst, you’ll:

• Help improve the quality, consistency and trustworthiness of data across our core systems.
• Analyse data to answer business questions and identify trends, risks and opportunities.
• Design reports and dashboards using tools such as Power BI.
• Work with colleagues to understand reporting and information needs.
• Support the development of our Microsoft-based data and analytics environment.
• Help document data structures, processes and reporting requirements.
• Contribute to information management and data governance activities.
• Work as part of a team while you build your professional data and analytics skills.

You’ll be a recent graduate or nearing completion of your degree in a relevant discipline such as Data Science, Computing, Statistics, Mathematics or another numerate discipline.
You will also have:

• A genuine interest in data, analytics and business intelligence.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.
• A willingness to learn and develop.
• The ability to communicate findings clearly to a range of audiences.
• An understanding of good data quality, confidentiality and information governance principles.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your workload effectively.
• Experience of tools such as Power BI, SQL and Microsoft data platforms or equivalent would be an advantage but is not essential.
• Works well with others and enjoys collaborating with colleagues across different teams.
