- Provide advice to managers across the organisation on a wide range of performance issues including target setting, data collection, benchmarking, inspection preparation, value for money assessment and quality assurance. Ensure that information collected is relevant and utilised.
- Identify areas where services may need more intensive support, based on an assessment of risk, and broker support from across the Business Analysis team, and other teams across the service.
- Critically analyse data collected from a wide range of sources (financial, performance, customer feedback) to provide managers with insight into performance issues, and to identify action to address. To do this Performance Officers will need to develop an understanding of a wide range of service areas across the organisation and be responsive to service needs, developing strong working relationships with managers across the organisation.

- Carrying out analysis of different sources of data, across one service or a number of services and partner organisations, to provide an evidence base and intelligence to inform solutions to performance issues.
- Carrying out research into the performance systems used by services. This may involve interviewing managers and staff, looking at data collection and use, and making recommendations on opportunities for improvement.
- Leads on workstreams that involve managing the input of others from across the organisation, and may have a risk to the organisation’s reputation and credibility.
- Responsible for investigating more complex complaints and identifying issues for further analysis.
