England Support Team Member (Data Analyst)
Join our UK Scouts volunteer team
Equal opportunities
Scouts is an equal opportunity recruiter. We're committed to diversity and actively seeking applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, in particular, Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities.
About the role
Across England, thousands of volunteers give their time so that young people can experience Scouts and gain skills for life. Our role as a national leadership team is to support those volunteers, help Scouts grow in more communities, and ensure we provide a safe and positive experience for everyone involved.
Data plays an increasingly important part in helping us do that well. From membership and census information to growth, safety and safeguarding data, we have valuable insight that can help us understand where things are going well and where we need to focus more support.
In this role, you’ll help us turn that information into clear, meaningful insight that leaders across England can use to make better decisions. Your work will help us spot opportunities, understand challenges and ultimately ensure more young people benefit from Scouts.
You’ll be joining a supportive team who value collaboration, curiosity and new ideas. If you enjoy making sense of data and using it to help organisations improve, we’d love to hear from you.
Key tasks
You’ll help bring together information from across Scouts and turn it into clear, useful insight for leaders across England. You'll get involved in the following:
Insight and Analysis
- Analyse national and regional data sets to identify trends, patterns and insights.
- Translate complex data into clear, practical insight for volunteer leaders.
- Support evidence-based decision making across the England Leadership Team.
- Identify emerging risks or opportunities relating to growth, inclusion, safety and volunteer experience.
Reporting and Dashboards
- Design and maintain simple dashboards or reports that senior leaders can easily use.
- Improve consistency and clarity of data shared with Regional Lead Volunteers and national teams.
- Help move reporting from static data to actionable insight. Supporting Growth and Strategy
- Provide analysis that supports national growth priorities and local growth plans.
- Help identify areas of opportunity or challenge across England.
- Support evaluation of initiatives and pilots.
Data Collaboration
- Work with UK Headquarters teams responsible for membership, digital systems, safety and safeguarding data.
- Help align England-level analysis with national reporting.
- Encourage a positive data culture across the volunteer leadership community. Communication
- Present insights in clear and engaging ways to senior volunteer audiences.
- Produce short papers, visuals or presentations to support decision making.
Your work will help ensure decisions are informed, targeted and focused on what matters most for young people and volunteers.
