Job summary:


Here at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), we work on things that make a real difference to people's lives.


Whether it's through the homes we live in, the work of our local councils, or the communities we're all part of, our work is at the top of the political agenda.

We have ambitious and far-reaching outcomes to achieve this year and, if you're thinking of joining us, there's never been a more exciting time.

We have over 3,500 staff who are based in 20 offices across the UK.

The new Office for Local Government (Oflog) is a key priority of the Secretary of State.

Oflog will help to drive improvement in Local Government - responsible for a wide range of critical and everyday services - in order to improve outcomes for the public.

We're seeking a lead Data Scientist to help shape Oflog's approach to data from its infancy. You'll develop a Data Science team and programme to use innovative techniques to create new insights about Local Government.

In parallel you'll develop and oversee a team of data engineers designing processes to manage Oflog's growing suite of data efficiently.

Oflog is an office of DLUHC, meaning all staff are DLUHC civil servants.

Ministers have agreed that it will have a degree of separation from government, with an independent Chair and Chief Executive.

Oflog is a mixed-discipline team, including policy and Local Government experts, and analysts from a range of disciplines.


Find out more about what it's like to work in a digital, data and technology role at DLUHC including our culture, ways of working, career progression and staff benefits.

- identify how insights from data can help to underpin real-world decisions about Oflog and Local Government and credibly present these to senior stakeholders
- manage and develop our Data Engineering team to ensure Oflog acquires, uses and manages its data assets securely and efficiently
- develop and uphold ethical and quality assurance standards for how Oflog uses data, embedding these principles across Oflog
- engage with stakeholders across teams in Oflog, Government and Local Government to promote and establish Oflog's approach to data and identify opportunities to collaborate
- provide thought-leadership on how Oflog can support Local Government to access and use data in better ways

- strong leadership and management skills, to set direction and build capability within a new team
- good stakeholder engagement skills to collaborate across a range of policy and analytical teams and with stakeholders in and out of government
- knowledge and experience of (or a willingness to learn) how to facilitate complex data sharing between organisations, including of sensitive data
