The Data Administrator will provide an important role in supporting the provision of high-quality data analysis to both internal and external audiences. This will involve assisting with the preparation and submission of returns to statutory bodies as well as ownership in responding to Freedom of Information requests.

You will support a wide range of student data reporting and you will act as first point of contact for ad-hoc data requests, in addition to maintaining internal databases and developing an understanding for the data and system processes required for statutory returns.
